You guys clearly are a community.

I disagree; either there is no autistic community (that depends on how other autistic people feel) or I do not fit in that autistic community.

When you hear about some autistic person somewhere getting some props, don't you say to yourself, "That's our soldier. Good for him/her."

No.

Or when you read a story online that has been posted by an autistic person, aren't you more likely to read it?

No.

Do you think maybe you just don't FEEL the community? ... A leader gives instructions and we, the herd, all do the same action as one. There is a soothing, "group as one" feeling. I'm not sure many autistic people pick up that feeling as anything but discomfort. Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe that is one of the tenets of autism.

I somewhat agree with that; I have never felt that "group as one" feeling, either comfortably OR uncomfortably. I am too focused on what I am doing (and my horrible executive functioning, and my horrible sensory hypersensitivity, ...) to be aware that other people are there, whether they are doing the same thing as me or something completely different.

Hey Powerpuff sorry to hear you are feeling that way. I am 16 and two years ago I was extremely depressed and felt like nothing I said was good enough and make sense. The thing is I got out of that stage. If their is one thing I learnt from that stage is that our negative view clouds who we really are. I think for that reason once you get out of depression you will find you are fairly capable at communication and find their your not stupid.

I do not understand your situation entirely but I know what its like to be depressed. And if I can get out of that stage why can't you.

It is completely naive to think that everybody can just "get out of depression". Depression isn't a stage or a sickness, it is a mental disorder that can last for people's entire lives.

That "if I can get of of depression, why can't you?" mentality makes me question if you ever actually had depression, and weren't just being angsty.

In general that is a pretty rude thing to say to a person with depression, even though you were trying to help. It's kind of like calling somebody weak or a p**** because they are depressed.

I fit in a category of my own because of my curse. I'm the OP BTW. I can't get past making acquaintances, because of some higher power makes me either say something to wrong way, judgement out of nowhere or something. Judgement out of nowhere happens quite a lot, generally.

I do stuff like act silly a lot, immature, but it's automatic, and I don't know why.

No one person is so-called"perfect" as perfection exists solely in the world of nature and nowhere else.3rd, You need not cut yourself down or treat yourself in a demoralizing manner for whatever your not good at or have problems with.

I feel like I'm a nobody because I'm cut off from meeting and making friends due to my curse.
I amount to nothing in life; I have no future.
I can't get a job because of mental setbacks, mental health triggers.
I can't fit in anywhere, regardless.
I can't get help for my issues, regardless, for many reasons, one my brain being broken, and incompatible with everything so far.
I don't show signs that there is anything wrong with me, not Autism, CPTSD, (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), PPA, (Primary Progressive Aphasia), Depression, Anxiety, Transgender, etc.
I also have selective memory problems that conflict with getting help, or remember key details in the moment (literally every time).
I feel trapped in a box, (my own special Hell) with no way out.
The list is quite long.

Your not a nobody rather, someone with a great deal of difficulties that many people have either overlooked or disminssed out of ignorance. I, like yourself have memory troubles from a medical disaster 10 or so years ago.
In many ways there are times when others don't really see the problems autistic people have to deal with in literal terms, as I've encountered this personally.Well, I just wanted you to know that your still human and your not a nobody rather a somebody in the most sincerest and honest manner!!
