You don't look autistic. Do you even have autism?

Those are questions I get asked often. And in reality, I want to show them the clothes I've been living in because I can't bear to get myself up to grab different clothes. Or the hard times at home, the panic attacks, the cries, the screams, and being misunderstood.

It is all part of something you cannot see because it's a mental disability in our head, yet we get blamed for our actions and the miscommunication we might cause.

But what if we autistic people are the way to see the reality that others might not see?

What if we are the ones that actually understand the world and the reality we are in?
