The autism experience is that people gaslight the shit out of you for no good reason. Don't actually dare to mention you're autistic because you will get:
>you don't look autistic
>my cousin is autistic and he's nothing like you
>well everyone is diagnosed with something these days
>you have good social skills and articulate well, so it can't be affecting you that much though?
another good one is if you put up the corniest cheesiest fake smile to "fit in", it will be interpreted as a sign of being friendly or approachable etc
