Autistic Woman Accidentally Intimidates Everyone

Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]You know the funny thing about being like objectively attractive, intelligent, kind of funny, and autistic? Right. It's like everyone thinks that I'm in competition with them, okay?

[00:00:11]And meanwhile, [snorts] I'm standing there like, "Was this a race?"

[00:00:15]I thought we were all just like in the same parking lot trying to find the entrance. Was this a competition the whole time?

[00:00:21]Did I sign up for this? And you know, I figured this out like weirdly late, too.

[00:00:25]Like, people are already lacing up, stretching, changing lanes, and I'm still looking around for a clipboard because I didn't even know I signed up.

[00:00:33]Not competing.

[00:00:35]Why I'm at.

[00:00:38]Like, just trying to make it through a grocery store, answer one text back, leave the house with both shoes on, which, okay, like some days it's a lot, but apparently, just existing on the same field gets read as some kind of challenge energy.

[00:00:54]Tragic, really.

[00:00:56]The burden of showing up by accident.
