I think the worst part about having autism for me is the majority of the social cues I miss are the positive ones, so I believe I come across as this clumsy, awkward person who can’t succeed socially, when in reality yeah I’m a bit awkward, but more than anything else I’m actually quite fun and playful and kind, and other people see it too and we all get on well because of it! just funny because there’s two staff in my gym who consistently point out that I always have a big smile when I go in, and I always think I come across like a weirdo who can’t move her face properly so it always surprises me lol anyways if you’re neurodivergent don’t trust the negative perceptions you have of yourself because it’s very likely that you’re actually really cool and you’re just being hard on yourself :)
