I hate being autistic

i was undiagnosed until i was mid teenage years, my childhood was spent being yelled at by my parents because they couldn't understand what what was wrong with me and why i acted the way i did, i cried when i found out. i'm writing this post because im just so tired of not being able to do the things neurotypical people can usually do, i have long days, most of the time i spend it masking and it's exhausting, so i get tired very easily, i have a boyfriend now who i can't show affection or vulnerability to easily and he got kind of upset about it "just act like you love me if you love me" and i didn't even know what to say. im so tired of being awkward and liking stupid childhood things and getting hyper fixated on shit i just want to be able to be a normal person

i feel so out of place
Embrace who you are and try to love you because you are all you really have.

It might be worth telling your boyfriend that you are autistic and you can't show love in the same way as neurotypical people. Sure, telling him could go either way - but there's a chance that he might understand and want to help you.

Autism is pretty much what makes us who we are, though. Even though I don't have my official diagnosis, just having it recognised by family members goes a long way for me... and thinking about how it's affected me my whole life, it does make sense that I am more than likely autistic.

You are who you are. People who really love you will accept that.

Sorry to hear that, we all have our problems. Neurotypicals are very strange if you think about it, it's ok if you don't fit in
