personally? bad eye contact. accidentally using innuendos because there's 80 million of them and I forgot to consider one of them when I was speaking. not catching somebody's meaning when they hid it in an innocuous statement. severe irritability in the cold or around loud continuous noise. overstepping a social boundary and abruptly withdrawing half an hour late when it dawns on me what I did. having no boundaries to other people because I'm trying to be personable and blend in when I don't.

all together that sounds pretty obvious but it never happens all at once. if I've gotten enough sleep then I will mask most of it, whether I want to or not

As a kid I knew something was off (I didn't have the language to call it something) because I couldn't answer T/F and multiple choice questions honestly due to nuance. I often knew the answer the teacher was expecting but to answer it according to that assessment felt intellectually dishonest.

People around you earnestly tell you that you are autistic

Giving honest answers to questions like "How are you doing?" at the beginnings of conversations.

Depends, reveal me to allistics or other autistics? 🤭

Subtle?

I think Autistic people in general realize something is off. The key is realizing they aren't necessarily unique.

I have severe IBS -D.

If you know, you know. If you dont notice anything yourself, dont even try.

Most people can’t tell is autism, unless they’re regularly close to other autistic people. They just think I’m weird.

But even then I would say physicality. Posture and way of looking or walking.
