you've gotta find other autistic people. as you know, i can relate to this big big big time

i'm proud of you for putting yourself into social situations, trying, and learning. it's hard and it sucks but it's worth it.

i've gotten comfortable with just being 'slow' about things, and apologizing at a later time if i've accidentally said something that made someone evidently hurt or uncomfortable.

i hope u can find other Autistics^TM who have a mutual yearning for connection and a mutual patience for friction
