Most spectrum people I know have social overstim/anxiety because, since they can remember, someone in their lives has told them how they're too much, doing it wrong, being weird, acting "off", or otherwise relating to other humans incorrectly.
So, yeah. That weighs on a kid, and later, an adult.
Every time I'm taught to be more social and put myself out there, I just revert back to how I was before. I always felt like I was doing something wrong even as an adult.
This hits hard.
