I feel like therapists focus on wanting us to act normal. To have x number of friends and to have a partner but not until we’re healed and at a certain point in our lives. To see ourselves as on our way to acting more normal, like that’s the goal we need to be moving towards.
But it feels like no one knows what a healthy autistic person is like, except not autistic.
So sometimes I feel like the more I heal, the more they think there’s something wrong with me.
