I know I'm dealing with autistic folks when social interaction makes me feel neurotypical

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Seeing posts in my feed from this sub always has me feeling like: oh. Oh shit. No but. Oooooooohhhhhhhhh

This feeling is what put me on the path to discovering that I'm not just ADHD but AuADHD. It's nice to have a better understanding of why I act certain ways and being able to understand where I might get into bother with unhealthy coping strategies but, saying that it would have been nice to have the information before my 30s is a collosal understatement.
