Nope, I’m always weird, least I feel and the voices tell me that everyone can tell I’m sick

I can hide it pretty well for about 20-30 minutes. For any interactions longer than that I start to “fade” and it becomes far more difficult.

Pretty well, for like 6 hours if I have to. I get back home and get a little fidgety.

I can’t hide the flat affect but I do okay with the rest of it.
Im not sure. Been thinking of recording myself and then watch it all after a week to see how much of a freak i am. Probably quite the freak. But my workers tell me i seem normal. Its a conspiracy i say!
I think I can hide it pretty well but, something always happens to where my abnormality comes to light eventually.
I hide it alright, in fact I seriously doubt that I’m really sz, but my doctors beg to differ.

Not sure. I feel pretty strange like an outsider all the time.
I try to stay light hearted and positive for short encounters. When I fade I clam up and listen. I don’t like to be the center of attention. But I have learned to trust after 8 years a friend but have to be cautious not to be foolish. I told him about my dx and so i trust. But its hard to trust people and when they dislike me for some thing else, i go away. I don’t like to tell, so just be quiet.
Kind of well, when I feel watched and commented on, anxious, panicy, I usually go home

The best way to hide something is to put it in plain site and use misdirection. Let’s just say that being able to tell people I’m autistic REALLY helps.

No one here knows it. I’m pretty good at it. (a couple of people here might have guessed, but they’re probably schizophrenic too).

I don’t think I’m a very good actor. I definitely can’t hide it when I’m depressed. I wear my emotions, so it’s probably pretty obvious.
I’ve been told it’s not noticeable while I’m on my meds.

Overall I hide it well if the interactions are not too long. If there’s any form of conflict I can become totally rigid and I can’t really speak much. It’s like an instant reaction physically. I haven’t been able to solve that one yet.
It’s almost like a ptsd hyperarousal problem, regardless it happens like clockwork.
Nobody freaking knows. I dont tell them and I dont think they can tell.

It is painfully obvious that I’m mentally ill. That’s why I hate going out.
It depends on the place, the person and the situation.
Not long, as soon as I open my mouth something comes out that people know I’m a bit left of center.
