This thread unlocked another core memory of nobody knowing or understanding I was neurodivergent. I had to quit girl scouts because I couldn't stop having such bad anxiety to the point of crying meltdowns just from "normal" things like camping and trying to make fires. Huh...
Was also quite a humiliating experience because I could tell the adults and the other girls just thought I was being a whimp, dramatic, a brat, etc. I'd be terrified of random things like bugs or hot things or sleeping in a tent and they'd just be like really? :| why are you like this
Which made me feel like a piece of shit because I couldn't control it of course
