In my personal experience feeling left behind was a common theme. Feeling, Like I did meet milestones like so many other people feeling slightly down because of people “seeming” to appear further in life than I did. For instance, not having many friends or just having one to two close friends and feeling exhausted after hanging out with people to the point where I went nonverbal thinking was just a common experience. Figuring I could just push through like some others looking down on myself because I was not ahead like some allistics were feeling like I could not keep up. Looking at myself like a passion project you can see the vision and potential, but it is not there yet. That’s how it felt being able to do so many things like hobbies and special interests but when it came to smaller stuff like cleaning, hygiene, etc. it was just difficult. Emotionally draining feeling like you have to go above and beyond just to be seen as important, constantly masking to stay afloat. Not to mention Autistic burnout that stops you from masking because you are exhausted. And the recovery from this is like 3-5 years. So just a little rant but if anyone can relate just drop a comment.
