You can be NT and still have no friends.


True - I know an NT with no job and no friends.


You can't really look at the way a person's life is currently going and assume they are Autistic. Not every NT is in a steady job, has a stable relationship, has over 50 friends, and has a wonderfully secure life.

Also, I thought a simple question about clothes would give me a little clue about it. Because I haven't changed my clothes, nor do I care about doing so. I saw a few questions about autism and hygiene figured I'd ask one. didn't turn out how i expected it to. but who cares


It is not an autistic quality, though it does happen with some people who are autistic. It also happens with some people who are schizophrenic, some people with dementia, some people with many other disorders, and some people who are just lazy. Are there are symptoms that you have besides the clothes that lead you to think you could be on the spectrum?

When i think of my child-hood, i hardly remember it but when i do, i think of the haze i was lost in and how this "haze" is clouding my brain. i don't need things like caffeine, THC, or nicotine to alter my mind.. as i feel as it's already messed up on something. but caffeine especially enhances this feeling, which is why i drink it daily. I'd rather be inside my own head rather than dealing with life things like working a job, or getting my education, although i know the importance of an education, I just don't enjoy going out, because of the awkwardness i feel when I'm out in public. I'd rather avoid the awkwardness by not showing my face anywhere. :?: If i didn't feel any of this, I imagine i would be a happy social person.. which im not. i sometimes get depressed because i cant do the things people expect me to do. for real though, i might as well be homeless.
