From diagnosed autistic to socially thriving

[OnlyWs]

Wrote about this before but it’s a unique ish story I haven’t seen repeated by others much so posting my response to a user in a different thread”

“I know what you mean about autism being incredibly difficult.

SSRIs changed the game for me, now I’m the most social one in my immediate family who are all a bit tism

I was diagnosed by a psychologist with Asperger’s 3 years ago when my life was falling apart

but am now thriving socially, friends, gf and I actually enjoy and am good at socialising versus being a mentalcel who couldn’t relax beforehand

I think there’s a difference between autism that makes you like trains, those types rarely have social issues cause they don’t want to be social

And normies with unsocial parents that didn’t teach proper social skills/neaural pathways, who seem autistic but are really just fucked up NTs

For the second group, meds, specifically lexapro in my case, can help the brain reach normie levels of brain chemistry
