Anyone else out there 'hardworking and quiet'?
And.. yes:
"Why don't we just start using words to communicate so I can stop tracking everyone's eyebrow twitches, that would be great."

From a very early age I never wanted to be seen. That means being good at what i do and never making a mistake. I'm always early, always prepared. With backup.
Worst thing for me is making a publicly visible error. I don't even like playing card games where my mistakes are visible to others.
Much of autism in adults is unrecognized because we have managed to hide successfully. Sometimes we excel for that reason, but often we are quietly licking our wounds.

@darrellpf @KatyElphinstone @autistics
Until very recently (and it's still extremely common to think of it this way), autism was defined in terms of how it impacts other people (usually parents and teachers) rather than how it impacts us. Therefore, if we've learned how to mask well in public or have removed ourselves from society, we no longer qualify under those old criteria. -
