Is neurotypicality caused by genetics, environment or both

[Deleted Member 69729]

I would like to hear your guys opinión on this as I’m kinda on the fence about this. For me i’ve been introverted since childhood none of my other family are introverted or have the level of social anxiety that i have it’s to the point where i have to prepare myself just to call a family member.

My parents tell me they had romantic partners in HS my sister had partners since middle school i’ve gotten nothing.

Im only able to act “extroverted” with people i’m confortable with for some hours like in school and in short burst when I’m home but my social battery only last for some hours like long. Because of this i’m able to give off the ilusión that i’m NT but i’ve lost my mask a few times causing me to breakdown at some social events (parents forced me into therapy when i opened up)

I’m getting better at masking but i know something is wrong with me.

[rand anon]

Both prob, but it’s ultimately out of one’s control since u can’t change the environment u grow up in

Both, I'm hard capped by genetics on this. I've always been the quiet kid in the classroom, can't really do much If you have 0 impulse to talk.
