So. I was just wondering. I am not sure if I am an autist. But if i try to pretend I am, this thought feels kind of comfortable. I think thats because it feels like I can stop pretending to be someone else in so many areas since i always act upon learned and manifested observations about 'correct' human behaviour i made throughout my life. What do you guys think about that?
