What prevents you from being perceived as normal in society?

Post Reply New Topic

The title says it all.

1) Being a single woman.
2) Wearing eccentric clothes.
3) Being an artist.
4) Daring to be different.

My obvious autistic traits, my coordination disorder, being nonverbal, hiding my face with my hair and hoodies, usually wearing sunglasses even indoors.

My social fears, anxiety, nerves, and selective social phobia.

what do you mean by these? are you mild or severe aspeger?

I'm moderate to severe level 2 classic autism.

It is quite apparent that I loathe interacting with other people. In many respects my life would be a great deal easier if I were non-verbal. I also lack verbal skills, appear rather gormless on many occasions and am extremely awkward in social situations. I dread to think how low my IQ is.

are you mild? if so, what do you mean by awkward?

I never know what to say and usually seem disinterested and withdrawn around others. I attended a grammar school, but I do not consider my autism to be mild. I am happier in my own head, and quite frankly it pisses me off when I am expected to engage with others. My working memory is dreadful, I seldom retain anything and my imagination is nonexistent, thus I believe I have severe learning difficulties.

Right now I am infuriated because the NHS have employed me in an administration role. My self-esteem has plummeted even further because it's highlighted just how slow I am.

The seeming and total lack of fear in dealing with those hypocritical-criminals in government-positions.
The ability to make use of more than one language sufficiently enough to seem fluent at them all.
The fact that I refer to The Messiah as The Messiah and often reference The Messiah's writings.
The lack of participation in attending social-functions or social-activities.
The fact that I refuse to pay any kind of tax that has any kind of punishment attached to non-conformity.
I am a non-conformist with the cognitive-ability to question statist-beliefs (e.g.: the main-stream).
The fact that I seem to have memories of an existence prior to even being born into this earth-life.
Knowing how to speak/read/understand/comprehend Legalese to deal with corrupt government.
The fact that I have a rather wide variety of mostly what would be considered obscure interests.
How I seem to have very high-functioning capability both in mental and physical-function.
The fact that I am able to keep my emotions under control even when threatened by pseudo-judges.
The ability to recognise the pseudo-skeptics who pretend to be scientific but are all statist hypocrites.
Experienced many walks of life, from world-traveller, down to homelessness and many in-betweens.
I am not motivated by ulteriour superficial-interests, such as fame, fortune, prestige, etc.
This following one is probably the biggest one of them all - I am considered a so-called...:

«Tin-Foil Hat-Wearing, Crazy & Insane, Mentally Ill, Nut-Case, Lunatic Conspiracy Theorist» !
Oh ! The ironic Projections of those who paste me with such labels ! ;o (When they are the ones with the Mental-Illness ! =o)

Oh, and also being 26 years old and only working part-time. All the other part-timers at work are in their 40s-60s.

My anxiety
Being shy
Wearing my work shirt whenever I go to work and get off work
Not looking at someone when I talk to them or when they talk to me
I am also perceived as slow
Being quiet

Other people

Unusual interests in subjects nobody else cares about
Sometimes thought of as shy or anxious
Never been married

Isn't that redundant since autism is mild ASD? Also I will never be considered normal because;
1)I apparently come off as hating people since I don't talk
2)I'm too "quiet"
3)I'm socially awkward.

My German helmets that I wear without a care in the world. I'd rather look like Schultz than be treated like a lady.
