the girl I have so much feelings for asked me if I'm autistic. I knew something felt off but I didn't know she was only being nice to me because she thought i'm special needs.

I'm crying into my pillow right now. I'm goofy and have a lot of awkward mannerisms and sometimes I'll just be thinking about something funny in my head and giggle out loud a little bit. and people have always treated me differently but I didn't know anybody actually thought I was autistic, especially not the girl that I wanted to impress. Even worse I feel guilty towards people who are actually autistic because now I feel like I was accidentally faking their disability. Tomorrow I'm going to walk into school and look at everyone's face and wonder how many of them think i'm autistic, I don't know if I can handle that. I've thoroughly enjoyed my high school experience but right now I just want it to be over so I can start fresh.

Edit1: I asked a friend I work with if anybody at work thinks the same. She says it's been brought up in the female coworkers group chat a couple times.

Edit2: I appreciate the concern but I’m not bullied. In fact, more often people are unsettlingly polite to me, they just carry an uninterested demeanor. I just don’t like to be labeled something I’m not, I want to be treated normal.
