@n69n@obrerx@allautistics@actuallyautistic I kind of relate to this except I was the "too good to be true" masked one and I wanted to be reassured all the time, that was me and my brother was the "bad" one. And the silly thing is it's very obvious now that my parents were autistic too but we all just quietly drove each other mad because seeking help was a sign of failure.
I was always told being sent "to the shrink" was the worst thing that could happen to you other than homosexuality 😔
