Faking normal?

No………………………….

that should have read ‘while you were there’

My family didn’t notice anything wrong with me, I had to tell them about my sza when i got diagnosed. They also only knew i was depressed once I went to the hospital, but pretending to be normal is something i guess im really good at.

I hear an increasing number of people with Asperger’s/ASD talking about how they mask(a form of faking maybe?). I’m thinking how the beep do you micromanage your lives like that? I am as I am.

i have had to fake certain things over the years to stay employed. some people have to fake smiling or frowning and other emotions or else come off as cold or “aloof” as pdocs say and people think you don’t care.

I didn’t believe I was sick. I was confused as to why my psychiatrist was giving me all these meds… so I didn’t take them. He explained that I messed up my brain because I was smoking that stuff or something like that. I still didn’t believe it. So I didn’t fake it, I just didn’t believe I was sick. Now I have realized, yeah something is wrong with my brain. Still sometimes I don’t accept it lol.
