>>12427994High functioning autist here.
I'd say the line is pretty clear, you're either able to overcome your defects and blend in with neurotypicals. Or you can't and it's painfully obvious to everyone but yourself that your autistic.
Social lessons are a godsend, there would be quite a lot more high functioning autistic people if normies actually knew how to teach social skills. The problem is that 99.9% of neurotypicals use their socialskills/body language unconsciously as they learn it at a young age, so they can't really tell you what to do besides regurgitate "just b urself bro"
I'd also have to disagree with the anon who said
>The only real autism is low functioning. High functioning autism does not exist.While I'm high functioning and most people wouldn't be able to tell, I still have all the other classical autism symptoms (stimming/sensoryoverload/echolalia). Stimming doesn't matter too much because I'm usually alone and my close friends just think its a quirk. However sensory overload can get pretty fucking bad especially because normies don't understand it. Echolalia can also be annoying, especially if it's internal like mine but you eventually just get used to your brain repeating everything it hears.
