It's the Cannabis
When autistics run into me, they spot me right away. Most people are unaware I'm autistic unless I tell them. Most people are unable to tell and are surprised when they find out.
Used to be that way about my cannabis use as well, I lived in Nevada back then though. lol
Dude! You smoke?? What?? You're autistic?! lol
People always think of rainman or other savant like characters when thinking of Autism, when in actual fact those who are high function are just normal people who are slightly quirky.
