Yes we do feel. We feel too much and sometimes too big for our bodies. It is socially unacceptable for us to show our authentic selves so we suppress our emotions to blend in; it hurts. #autismawareness #masking #actuallyautistic #fullspectrumofemotions tbc
It is physically exhausting but more importantly it is heartbreaking. We live a life where being surrounded by friendly people is lonely because we wear a mask of society’s design. We often go unloved because we go unknown. We are sad. #autism #fullspectrumofemotions tbc
And when the sadness becomes too much - but we still need to be accepted by society in order to grow, earn, provide, LIVE - we shut the emotions down completely. We become only actors. Sometimes we forget who we are. #autismawareness #actuallyautistic #fullspectrumofemotions tbc
No wonder we get called dishonest. #autismawareness #actuallyautistic #fullspectrumofemotions
The saddest part? Many of us are never accepted anyway.
