So many of my cringe moments growing up were when I responded inappropriately to social situations and got laughed at. I felt so alone growing up.

The 60s and 70s (for me) had no awareness of my problems. Only now am I discovering that I did what I could, but I wasn't equipped to deal with people well.
It's too late for me, but I'm glad kids today have more resources, although the problems are just as hard to navigate.
God bless you all.

While your body may not still be developing, you're not done growing mentally/spiritually yet! Keep on keeping on, fellow audultie ✊
I got diagnosed just over a year ago in my 40s. I was diagnosed as a child, but they didnt tell me. I only realized it once I reviewed my childhood with my autism therapist. Anyway, this meme hits hard every time I have one of those revelations:
Oooh my kid is gonna love that meme. He keeps telling me I'm autistic (he's probably right)
Meme Stolen! Yoink!
It was similar for me. My brother was actually diagnosed with Asperger's, but my parents didn't want me to get diagnosed because they wanted me to live a 'normal' life
