You seem to put a lot on weight on me feeling born on a wrong planet, but it's only a thing I thought because of all the massive differences I noticed compared to all of the other people I ever met, all the way from the way I think to small traits I have. As I didn't think it's very likely that I should be that way and nobody else on this planet is, so it felt like something had gone really wrong. Had I been diagnosed as a kid like your son I obviously would not have felt that way, I'd know the real reason for it and that I'm not the only one. The place where I was born did probably affect it, if not in other ways maybe at least I would have met other open autistic people earlier, but in my town mentally different people were a shame to the family to be hidden and not talked about, and good masking wasn't really optional if you wanted to try to be a part of the community.

I don't see those differences compared to other autistic people. I always thought what kind of people they'd be if I were to find others like me, and in the end the similarities surprised me, I always thought we'd still have bigger differences but now I see so much more common between us than I ever expected. And like seba_dos1 said, overwhelm me too much (which there are multiple ways to do, all similar to other autists I've met) and I get to similar state as non-verbals - extreme trouble processing speech as well as speaking, robotic movement, feels like my brain just doesn't work.
