I guess "inclusion" stops when it's not fun quirky autism or you don't "look" autistic

Social Struggles

It's all nice and fun when I can entertain people with random facts in the "right" social context, when I make "quirky" observations or offer blunt honesty, or I'm useful for looking up big Excel sheets.

But I swear that 70% of the same "inclusive" people will steer clear of me if I rock back and forth, blink too intensely every three seconds, get up to pace back and forth when talking about something intense, don't modulate my voice predictably, and mistake "just an acquaintance" for a "friend" because we shared "friend" things or experiences because "you just have to know".

Or you're weird because you know too much about something that's not directly tied to your job, study, daily life, or relationship.

When it's weird annoying autism and not fun quirky/marketable autism, you're too much.
