i am actually un diagnosing as autistic due to my proficiency at eye contact. i in fact have to remind myself to look away thats how good i am at it. i would get an A+ in eye contact
#for anyone outside of the know i will explain the joke because my sarcasm doesnt always read as such;
#autistic people often struggle with disliking eye-contact and many have practiced rituals for the normal amount of eye contact which are so
#distracting to perform correctly that they can lose focus on what the conversation is about
#i personally was reprimanded for gazing off into space quite young so i have zero issue looking people in the eye when they talk
#but i dont know what the appropriate amount is. so i do too much.
#i seriously just stare at them intently for the entire time the both of us are speaking and have to manually look away when i speak (normal
#way to act based on observation) and occasionally glance off around me
#so the joke is i still struggle with eye contact. but most people wouldnt realise that because they think autism is the same for erryone
#my overcompensation due to my natural awkwardness makes me struggle in the opposite way
#its also a joke about how because people think all autism is the same many people dont get diagnosed. never been an issue for me personally
#because i realised at an age at which support is no longer really offered so all it would get me is banned from entry into some countries
#(autistic people are barred from becoming citizens in some countries due to perceived higher support needs)
#also i once said to my dad i thought i had adhd and he said 'you dont have adhd. you know that'. and my mum regularly talks about autistic
#people as a third party to me. and about how she works with them
#to be fair to both of them my dad is 100% autistic and knows it (accepted this fact at51) and my mum is probably autistic but i dont want to
#talk to her about it so shes just going to be weird forever
#oversharing online is important because what if someone wanted to know that
