It’s a cycle. I wasn’t socialized enough as a kid, so I was weird. I was weird, so it became harder to socialize.

being accepting of one another by understanding that each person’s brain is different, therapy, and positive reinforcement being more effective than negative is common sense and works wonders

Sir, if u started bullying me in my mid 20s, I think it would do less for my social skills and more likely to worsen my social anxiety

no, Redbubble - it’s a site where you can upload pics to sell as a sticker design, but for obvious reasons there’s people who will straight up steal other people’s art

Sure, but I was naturally weird and missing social cues since I was very little. It made it harder to mask because I didn’t know when to do so or what’s considered masking

yeahh my mom just thought i was a boy (*cough*🏳️‍⚧️) and that i should be chained up all the time or smthn. in all seriousness, i’ve done lots of therapy and still do. i’ve been told that i’m a very well adjusted person all things considered:) i do worry about my older siblings though. things got better with time so i can’t imagine how much worse they were before i was born. anyway i’ll spare you the rest of my life story haha
