Have you ever had the feeling that you're not quite human? That you just don't quite fit in this world? That there is something that makes you different? Well, I have. I have that feeling every single day. I have lived with that feeling for as long as I can remember. I'm autistic, but long before anyone realized I was autistic, I realized that I was different. And I didn't like that. So I tried to conform, to pretend, to hide everything about myself that might make me seem weird or different. And the problem is: I succeeded.
