I used to joke that I couldn’t connect with the basic white bitch. Which sucks cuz I’m a basic white bitch so it really limited my friend selection. It also meant that people would befriend me because I’m kind, pretty and quiet. But it also meant that we couldn’t truly connect on much of a level so then I would eventually get squeezed out and lose that friendship which hurt me deeply.

I got irritated by the social norms, the standard memes everyone thought was funny I would eye roll. So then no one would send me memes and I didn’t send anyone else memes and maybe that’s a standard basis for friendship these days, because mine fail more often than succeed.

And I never understood why I got unfriended. Silently and without a reason but held at an arms distance, still friends on Facebook, sometimes even unfriended on Facebook!

And now I know it’s because I’m neurodivergent and can only relate and be accepted by other neurodivergents because otherwise I’m viewed as odd or awkward and no matter how hard I’d try to mask, it always fails- eventually.

So I’m happy to announce I am friends with anyone slightly off the average electrical normal brain pattern. And that’s the reason it’s hard for me to find friends, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with me! Or neurotypical for that fact 🙂

I’m autistic.

I’m a Non-Miss

Just over here waiting for someone to be on the other side of the teeter-totter with me 💕
