I’m also starting to think it’s pretty likely that I’m not actually autistic. I don’t fit in with NTs but I don’t feel like I fit in with autistic people either. My therapist thinks that I’m not.

I feel the same sometimes, as in not fitting in anywhere. maybe it is bc i come from a different culture. Regardless i hope you don't leave as i really like you and think you are a sweet person.

"Autistic people" are far from homogeneous, perhaps that's some of it. Sometimes I don't fit in perfectly everywhere either but that is life. You are very much liked here though.

I wish things weren't bad to the point that you want to leave. You're such a nice person and have helped me and others through a lot. You deserve to be able to feel at ease here.

I believe if you don't fit in you fit in perfectly here.

Maybe the answer is somewhere not in extremes. Like sometimes I like the forum, sometimes I don't and time away from it and interacting with other things is welcome.
