My "high functioning autism" is basically everyone else seeing me as "completely normal but maybe just a bit picky/ particular"... while internally it's me in constant sensory overload, social overload, and fighting against my executive dysfunction to just do stuff
Today I present to you, my incredibly extra carrot cake: carrot + walnut cakes layered with brown butter and vanilla bean cream cheese frosting and salted caramel, decorated with candied walnuts and cake crumbs :)
I was the weird girl in school and struggled a lot to make female friends. My parents were like “they’re jealous because you’re pretty”
Looking back, I’m like 99% sure it’s because I was annoying and bad with social cues.
Men be like “How am I supposed to know what behavior women might consider inappropriate” and when women literally tell them something is inappropriate they tell them they’re wrong.
