Being high a functioning autist is sometimes worse than being extremely nd

[chxrmzchud]

When you’re high enough functioning nd you see when you break social norms in real time. Missing sarcasm, dragging on a joke for too long, not making eye contact etc. You have enough of a social iq to realize the social norms you break, but it’s not high enough to fix them. When your extremely nd your social intelligence isn’t high enough to always recognize the social norms you break in real time. Obviously there are way more drawbacks to being extremely nd compared to high functioning but this one of the downsides I’ve experienced of being a high masking autist.
