The person in your life who’s convinced you’re not really autistic at all is also the hardest on you about every single autistic trait you exhibit, it has been confirmed.
Karen Hoyland, 58, who insists you were just fine until you got this autism nonsense in your head, has stated that this is typical of you and your non-stop drama.
Hoyland said: “This is just another one of your excuses for why you don’t go anywhere and do anything. You’d be able to if you tried a bit harder.”
“Oh, don’t make that face,” Hoyland continued. “You’re so sensitive for some reason.”
Hoyland then went on to list every trait in the DSM-5, including the weird shit about random “whorls of hair”, before confidently asserting that you “don’t have autism”.
