There's a difference between adaptation (you do your best to fit in, knowing yourself, but you accept your difference) and camouflaging (imply you're afraid of how you look to others, so this is paralysing you, it creates anxiety, etc..)
- itronitron 4y agoThat difference is self-confidence, and it's both foolish and disingenuous to label all people that have lacked self-confidence at some point as autistic.

- BiteCode_dev 4y agoWhen you are on the spectrum, no, there isn't. It's not about you. It's about others. And a lot of it about what things appear, not what they are. That's not shocking to an autist. That's factual. We don't mind factual, we mind intent. Just like I don't mind what you state, I do mind the virtue signaling it attempts.
