1. How do you think you would handel feeling like this?
I actually can picture myself handeling this in many ways mostly doodling,figgiting and music.
2. Have you ever realized that its this hard to these people to try and be qoute on qoute 'normal'?
I personaly know that dealing with feeling like you dont belong can take a tole and is very hard, so pretending to be normal I can picture is hard because you arnt really being true to yourself.
3.What do you think are the biggest reasons people you might know are hiding like this?
I think the biggest reason people we might know hind something like this could be that there scaired of how people will treat them diffrently or sometimes stareotype them to who they know have this, and are just afraid of being bullied.

Good job replying Raven! Your summary is quite brief however.
I could see myself trying to be normal like they do, but I try to be normal in my daliy life to fit in and be like everyone else. I do believe that it is very difficult for them to be normal because I, a regular person, have troubles being normal.
I haven't really thought about how hard it is to seem normal for autistic kids. I think they may be hiding it because they are afraid of being treated differently than the other kids. I'm really not sure how I would handle feeling like this because I don't know a lot about autism.
I think it would extremely difficult to feel the need to pretend to be 'normal' to fit in instead of being myself. For me, it's hard to imagine what this would be like. Before this, I've never really thoughout about how hard it would be for people that have autism for example to tried to fit the mold by being 'normal'. I think the biggest reason for people doing this is because they don't want that extra attention and people making fun of them for something they have no control over. They just want to fit in and be like everyone else.
I used to try to be 'normal' but now I know my self is enough.To be real If I was feeling like this again I would just ask for help. I have noticed it is hard for them to be 'normal' because really it's hard for anyone to try to be 'normal'. I think that people are hiding because they are looking for social acception or trying not to be noticed at all. Just because of how people with autism act sometimes, they are trying to maybe hide the fact that they have a condition.
I really do not know what I would do either. I haven't really invisioned myself in this position. I don't think that I would ever try to be "normal", I would just go with the flow. I have never really witnessed someone with these disabilites having trouble to fit in. I personally have always seen them as "normal". In addition, again, I don't think that I have ever personally seen someone trying to hide from their issues.
I dont know what i would do because it would be hard to fit in because i would like to act like myself not what others want me to act like. no i have not noticed i wish i would of i would try to hang out/talk to them and see what they like not what others like. because they want to popular and hang out with the "popular kids" and so they change the way they act .
I think it would be really hard for me if I were in their position, like trying to hide myself because what people would say it's really hard. But I've never realized how difficult it is for them to "try to be normal and fit in with everyone". I think one of the main reasons is that, they don't people to make fun of them, and that's why they try to blend in with the others.
I think that people with autism shouldn't have to try to fit in. I think they should be able to go anywhere and be accepted for who they are. I never realized that it was this hard for people with autism to fit in I see people with autism just like I see any other person. Iw ouldn't treat someone differently just because they have autism or any disease.
I think that the people who have autism and are just trying to fit in are probally just embarrassed. Therefore I think other people should not treat them different then others and just look at them like normal people. I also have never really noticed people like this trying to be normal and fit in because I think that anyone in this world not just people with mental illness want to fit in and feel accepted by others.
