Who can relate?

My brothers wife. Started a conversation with me one day like "you know, my 2yo stepbrother has autism, and you don't act anything like him. I don't think you really have autism." I'm sure our difference in behaviour is because I don't have autism, not the fact that I'm literal decades older than him

I fit a lot of stereotypes so I can't relate a ton

I also don't go around telling people I'm Autistic

You're just a lazy asshole.

That's my favorite

I know this is about stuff but maybe if you wanted me to read the meme you should have used a less adorable cat.

I am the cat and the pickles, he said without a hint of levity

Edit: however, they appear to be fresh cucumbers

"You don't act autistic"

Thanks, I'm dedicating so much energy to masking right now that at the end of the day I'll eat some fast food trash and rewatch an anime from the 90s because I won't have the mental energy to cook better food or play any of the hundreds of unfinished games I have.

Need a pickle saying "but you pay taxes"

Replace with ADHD, and spot on.

I'm one of the lucky people who has basically never had to introduce myself as being autistic, so no. And even then, I went through things like speech therapy growing up, so I can't say I really stand out too much when speaking normally to strangers.

"Why do you do x? You cant use autism as an excuse."
