Feel like I’m larping autism because I have struggles socially and love routines but my interests aren’t narrow enough and I don’t get overstimulated easily

it is a spectrum. not all autistics are built the same. i also don’t have special interests.

I hate routines and being in cliche boxes (I take specific delight in being a pile of contradictions), but then I love having friends that fit in my boxes. I’m mostly socially adept but theres times my brain says I need to overshare and I know some people find me offputting or exhausting but I don’t know how to *not* be that way. Everyone is different. But I’m AuHD.

I don’t necessarily have safe foods, I have craved foods. Sometimes I will eat something for 4-5 consecutive meals and crave it every time, but then all of a sudden I’ll be sick of it and won’t eat that thing for months.

I’m kinda the opposite in which I undershare and don’t know how or don’t feel comfortable to share or overshare with anyone

Idk when it started but at some point I decided that I needed to get all the bad stuff that someone would find out about me out of the way before I cared about them because then if they run, they run. If they don’t then I can care.
