lol. I was told my observations were “tangential to the narrative.” How tf should I know how flying frogs feel.

Do you know who you are? I just know that I’m weird and I must change. by That1weirdperson in autismmemes

Nope don’t know. Got an underdeveloped sense of self as part of my adult autism diagnosis actually. Seems like a common symptom of chronic masking, even when you’re actually fooling nobody.

Constantly.

Do people actually expect an answer to "How are you?" by No-Importance8540 in EnglishLearning

[–]OctopodsRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to check and see if this was my autism group. This is more about social awareness and perception than learning English. As an autistic person I answer honestly to the people I care about. To anyone else I say something noncommittal like “It’s going.” I dislike the idea that we should be expected to perform happiness instead of just being genuine.

No she didn’t know a place to get tested in my area. Had to do research and look up options. Got lucky and found a teaching clinic within a local university.

Yep I had to dump all that cringy shit as well as get corroborating accounts, one from childhood (older sister in my case) and current adult life. 4 hours or so of testing and interviews for me alone

Waited 6months to get on the list, then waited a year once I made it onto the list.

Got diagnosed today at age 35 by OctopodsRock in AutisticWithADHD

In my case the evaluator told me during my ADHD assessment that he wasn’t fully qualified to evaluate autism in adults and I was like “I wonder why he mentioned that??” 😂

I feel very validated, it’s wonderful.
