Autists: Are you able to pass for NT?

[BadLuck7892]

I can pass for NT in many cases

 

[TopTierIncel42]

If I am prepared for a social interaction and plan my shit out carefully, I can

 

[CloudyCuck]

I’m extremely NT IRL

"yeah bro im like hella nt"

 

[BadLuck7892]

In a way, being able to pass for NT is a curse.

Normies end up thinking we're fellow normies. Which means when our autism eventually inevitably comes out, normies are freaked out (as they have no idea why)

 

[rawr]

I'm not sure if I'm autistic or even neurodivergent for that matter

Based on what you've shared, you sound like a fellow autist

I don't know you in real life.

Yet if I recall, didn't you say you're basically incapable of talking to foids?

(I was too at your age. I don't mean that as an insult)

Well recently I have had an interaction with a foid (not one I'm really attracted to) and it was awkward but I was capable of having it.
It's not like I start violently shaking or anything, I'm just not good socially overall, I used to be but I'm not sure what changed.

I was decent socially in the early grades.

Then I stopped progressing socially in 3rd grade. That's common with autists

(I eventually progressed beyond 3rd grade social skills...but it took several years)

 

[CelestialJackrabbit]

I'm probably slightly more NT when I'm not around my family. I'm able to talk to friends and random people just fine. Usually my instinct is to choose to not socialize though unless I'm around people I know.

 

[Rxndependant]

How many times have you got coworkers to talk about piss and did you gel hair today?

I gelled my hair once. No piss talk surprisingly

Deadass

 

[Alexg_lover]

I don't have an autism diagnosis though I likely have it. I have anxiety, health anxiety, sensory processing disorder, dysiexia and ocd though so I feel like I can comment on this lol. I'm very good at masking in general and none of my family members (besides my mom) knows I have anything. My closest friends know that I am kinda ND but some less than others. I have also had some abnormal outrages that has made it quite obvious but besides that its like whatever. Also during my exams I made many wierd requests and moved my table because the girl in front of me had wierd colored pants so I think after that it was quite obvious lol

Real-ish but its better than to be stuck as a loser with 0 people to talk to. Usually anyway

why are autists social when young but eventually fall off later?

 

[AryanSchizo]

i can yeah

 

[CelestialJackrabbit]

They get socially excluded and made fun of for their autistic traits

 

[Pony]

Nope

 

[Tenres]

No, in short interactions I can absolutely fraud NT. In fact I can be very charismatic for a bit. Over time though I either have bouts of just not being motivated to interact with people, or an inability to continue conversations or come up with anything to say. I think it's easier at the start of an interaction as it's more formulaic and you can more easily craft a persona without revealing anything about yourself. Rn I'm more working on being able to lie and make up shit easier.

 

[Whatever]

This depends on the context. I voted no because I wouldn’t last long at all in many if not most workplaces and social settings. I have a career and lifestyle that I’ve gotten pretty comfortable in, but at the same time I’m not getting any social practice and I feel like I’m devolving year by year.

 

[Ghost Philosophy]

Idk.

I get your point.

For example, I at least had a table to sit at in the high school cafeteria. This severe autist Andrew didn't

 

[BadLuck7892]

Because little kids in general don't have the best social skills. So when an autist is 5/6/7/etc, their "off" behavior is really not a whole lot different than the other kids.

Come middle school/high school, on the other hand, the normal kids' social skills are blossoming, which makes the autist's bad social skills stand out

 

[soulless_npc]

I can but it's just following a script programmed with NPC responses because I know this is the manner that is appropriate to the situation.

Rule of thumb, never say how you are feeling IRL. But because of this I get exhausted from surface level interactions and sometimes it takes time to reboot, because I'm not connecting with people on an authentic level and am always doing a bit.

The social punishment for non ND grows more severe as time goes by and it becomes more obvious that you aren't capable of compartmentalizing your thinking. The only thing "creepier" than talking to women is not knowing how to talk to them.

I hate the NT question "How's it going?"

As for not knowing how to talk to foids, I'm in a unique position. I just (as in 5 minutes ago or so) told the foid with the greatest backside on earth she has good looks. I had no trouble whatsoever telling her that.

Yet I've only been able to get 1 free lay and 4 dates in the past decade

I hate that question too because the only acceptable answer is "good" in the context which the question is generally asked. It's not asking because they care about how you are, it's just filling dead air.

Well you've got laid a lot more than me anyway, but I haven't gone the escort route and I don't think I'd consider it. If I put in maximum effort go down every road possible exhaust my options try everything and still can't attract women organically the same way my dad did and his father did and every other man from my bloodline did then I guess I'll just kill myself.
