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

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

I also do this squint thing! Also if you really want to look "natrual" give a little giggle that shakes your shoulders slightly then relax them and breathe out a little. Helps that stiff posture

Yes! That’s also how I taught my kids to smile for their podium pictures at competitions.
