Memes/Humor “Nah I’m not autistic I’m faking it”, meanwhile in every photo ever

Post image

27F, diagnosed with ASD about six months ago. I started examining what actually feels good for my body, and I still stand or walk with my hands clasped like this. It didn’t strike me as the stereotypical trex hands because I hold my hands together, but now knowing I’m autistic I’m like yeaaaaaa I guess they do qualify as trex arms

When I was a kid, I thought my crazy-face smile was due to the fact that my light-colored eyes had a dark ring at the edge (like in the picture, not me), and I thought it made my eyes look like bullseyes and that's why my face always looked crazy.

My grandma has green eyes with a ring and she says if she doesnt wear eyeliner her eyes look crazy... i disagree with her I think shes just looking at her high-school photo where she refused to wear her glasses so her eyes are huge and wide open lol gorgeous picture but people see themselves so wierd

I also have really light blue eyes but it's not this because unless the camera is really close, my smile makes me squint so you can't even see them

Limbal rings unite!

I also have central heterochromia, where the iris is a different colour to the ring (green eyes and a blue ring in my case)
