    When you spend your formative years trying to ‘fit in’ (like most autistic people) you quickly learn that standing up for yourself is a failure in your attempts to not stand out. Those chidhood habits are incredibly hard to unlearn.

    This meme isn’t an exclusive trait for autistic people, just one that many autistic people struggle with.

      I deal with this a lot and it is really making my (work) life a lot harder. Any advice on how to break through that blockade?

      I find that I always start sounding to defense which makes me sounds even more guilty (atleast I think so)
