  1. Anxiety, hyperfixation, irritability, difficulty dealing with schedule changes, mental inflexibility, etc. It is not that strong, but enough to drain me during bad periods. Neither therapy or meds actually helped me, I felt stuck and without a visible way out. A little while my therapist suggested I get a neuropsycological evaluation (direct translation, don't know if the name in actually this in english). And I got a strong possibility (investigating now) of being on the spectrum, altough my "support level" is the lowest (my characteristics aren't that high in ant of the spectrum characteristics. And most of my expereriences seemed to fit in the problems undiagnosed adults goes through.
  2. It seems too early to day anything with confidance, but so Far, I feel like I understand the reason behind my feelings and behaviours.

It is called spectrum for a reason, you don't need to fit them all, and could have manageable levels in some of them, but having to compensate in others. As you therapist said, and undiagnosed neurodivergency could be a reason the therapy poor results, It is like they aré following a script that wont work on u.

    Look, i've had almost the same experiencie over the years, and now I've investigating the possibility of being in the spectrum. What I tought I was learning while growing UP seems to be masking mecanism.

    Maybe try to look UP how undiagnosed adults on the spectrum behaves and ser if It rings a Bell.

    Some places try to argue something like that, but if you push back a little they cave. The law estipulates a fine ranging from 74 to 1 000 000 USD for visible products in shelves or display without a visible price tag. And since its a fine, the government is eager to get his piece of the pie.

    This is crazy, not displaying the price of an item in a shelf or display is against consumer laws where I live. And if the price on display is not updated the store is required to sell by the price on display.

    Maybe a mix of tribalism and sunk-cost fallacy. People want to feel like the made the right choice regarding platform, while justifying the money they put in a probably closed ecosystem.
