A bad day with autism is like being handed a mic and being asked to sing karaoke when
you didn’t sign up for this
you’ve never heard this song before in your life
the screen’s too staticky to read
every time you make a noise into the mic there’s terrible screeching feedback
welp now everyone’s staring
you wanna go back to bed
A good day with autism is like being handed a mic and being asked to sing karaoke when
you’ve been excited about this for weeks
this is your favorite song
everything’s working as expected
you’re rocking this
everyone’s having fun
karaoke is fucking rad
Being asked “but wouldn’t you rather just not have autism” is like being asked
“but wouldn’t you rather just not have a voice”

Neurotypical person: really? you dont seem autistic!
Me: oh yeah? If I weren't autistic, could I do THIS?
Me: *proceeds to grossly misread social cues, gets overwhelmed by tiny details, and goes into sensory overload*

Identity Confusion/Crisis in Autism
Recently I realised that it isn’t unusual for autistic people to have lifelong struggles with their identities. This has certainly been true for me. I’ve spoken to many autistic people who feel as though they don’t have a stable sense of who they are or want to be, and sometimes feel as though they live their lives switching from identity to identity or being extremely preoccupied with it in an attempt to figure it out.
Everybody needs an identity to help them work out how to act in the moment and predict things about themselves in the future. This in turn can help us imagine what we might want from our futures and what would be worth committing our time, money, and energy to.
Confusion about your identity, therefore, means that you will have trouble knowing what you want, what to do, or how to relate to yourself or other people. You may feel as though that you don’t know who you are in one or more aspects of you life to such a degree that you or others find this disruptive, distracting, or distressing.
There isn’t much research on this subject as it relates to autism specifically but there is some research on identity confusion more generally. For instance, I came across a video on YouTube that talked about identity confusion and borderline personality disorder. The description of the video chimed with me:
Many individuals with BPD feel uncertain about where they end and others begin. This is part of the unstable self-image often seen in those with this diagnosis. This video will discuss identity disturbance in BPD and the feeling that you have no idea who you are or what you believe in, characterized by shifting goals, values, and vocational aspirations. There may be sudden changes in opinions and plans about career, sexual identity, values, and types of friends.
There are significant differences between BPD and autism, but the feeling of not knowing where I end and others begin is something I have felt my whole life and is something that I have heard from many other autistic people, too.
Identity confusion, broadly speaking, can lead to or manifest as…
