PS: i'm glad my parents don't actually believe i have some weird disorders like autism (this was a diagnosis i recieved at the age of 3, as said before). Despite a lot of problems i deal with, like difficulty making eye contact, inability to handle change, weird speech paterns and severe anxiety attacks, they believe that I don't have any mental condition, because they think that autistic people are stupid and narcisistic. They think so because people with autism are often treated like aliens and eventually become wicked. I am not a psychologist so I don't really know if those disorders are caused by a mental condition, but the test i took 11 years ago made me think a lot about myself. PPS: i also struggle with social Interactions sometimes: a month ago, i for no reason suddenly felt a huge amount of anxiety with my friends and asked to go home. PPPS: now, what's the relationship between autism, narcissism and stupidity?
