  • I hate it when people touch me sometimes, but at the same time, I don't want people to think I don't like them. Tricky...
    I always get really self conscious whenever I tell people about my interests. Once I get going, I just can't stop.
    Did you know that Einstein was likely autistic?

    That wouldn't surprise me at all. I think that quite a few of the (historical) great minds and engineers were too.
    Is it normal to just mirror the moods and reactions of other people even if you don't feel the same as they do? Some people say that's actually a symptom of psychopathy. I hope not.

    Well, if I have a client in distress on the verge of tears, I will be looking concerned and most certainly will not be smiling.
    Sometimes you can't help but correct some people's grammar. Doesn't make you a lot of friends though.

    It can be a hard knee jerk reaction to ignore. Especially if it's a personal peeve.
    People's eyes burns. I work hard on not being noticed too much.

    I often wish I could go to work incognito. I'm not sure how to arrange getting paid incognito, however.

    One problem with ninjaing, is once you develop light footedness. You cannot shut it off.

    I somehow do that to people. Either I am a master sneaker. Or people have the attention span of a toddler.
    I can't stand the fact that even a small noise can set off my senses. I wish there was a way to soothe it.

    How about buying some noise cancellation headphones? Or something like Loop earplugs?
    Is it weird to buy same books twice because I like the other cover better?

    Not at all (at least for me). I have several books double because of that. Fellow bookworms!
    So, my friends and family have commented on the fact that I copied behavior from others. I simply told them I was always good at playing pretend.

    I try to copy good behaviour. Doing what others do can be good or bad depending on which others we are talking about.
    Wow, apparently imposter syndrome is pretty common among autistic people. That's comforting in a way...

    It seems to mean we’re good at masking but lack self-confidence. I’ve certainly struggled with that.

    Indeed every common. I know I feel guilty when I shouldn’t

    Masking wise, I’m doing better but it is still a work in progress

    I thought that was normal.
