I hear what you're saying about deserving to be special, but... There is this thing called 'theory of mind', which is this thing that is a deficit in autism, but normal in everyone else, I think.
Theory of mind is essentially when you can connect that not only you have experiences and feelings, but that other people do too. It's not that I don't know, but it's a conscious and not an automatic thing for me, so when I say...
I don't want to be special, I mean also, that I recognize that I have to not be 'too special' or just effectively on my own, emotionally.
Your post meant a lot, thank you.
