I’ve always been socially disconnected, even from kindergarten, or daycare up to now. I see a lot of autistic people talk about feeling out of place in school, being treated differently, not really fitting in, etc. That’s pretty much my experience too.

I’m curious if there are autistic people who weren’t like that.

Like, did any of y’all actually feel like you belonged? Had friends easily? We’re part of cliques? Or just not really socially excluded?

What was your school experience like?

And if things looked “normal” on the outside, did you still feel “different” from everyone even so? Or did you feel like you actually fit in?
