Chomp chomp chomp!
I legit was told this by 3 people yesterday. This includes a doctor who said: you make good eye contact and you don't act like the exchange student I had with asperger's. What? I work with an autistic population on a daily basis, their eye contact is just fine. Not to mention I taught myself to look people in the eye. Secondly, why would anyone assume that all asd looks the same? Bipolar didn't look the same, depression, brain injury, etc etc.
My mom says just because I do things differently than others does not aspergers give me. I was diagnosed non verbal learning disorder went through therapy for years for it. And I stim by pacing and flapping often with string in my hands.
Not to mention I'm nearly 30, I think I've learned to cover some of this up by now.
Sorry for the rant I just am very upset that everybody seems to think they have more insight on me than me.
