People often describe me as 'extremely weird', 'mentally atypical,' 'like an alien studying how humans work,' but I genuinely feel so normal from the inside. I feel like this is the obvious, default way to be and I'm continually confused why everyone else is so different from me.

Reads like it + high intelligence. It helps me to know: I can now accept the others as not being weird without having to be wrong myself - just different, like many others on the spectrum, especially some highly successful people I admire.

Don’t allow yourself to be labeled as on the spectrum. Intelligent, yes. Highly intelligent people think on an altogether different plane from those of average intelligence, and original thought and insights can appear strange indeed to people who can’t understand them.
