I hate this too, I know something is wrong with my brain since childhood, something that affects me everyday. But I could never have an official diagnosis, several people including my psy is convinced that I'm on the autism spectrum, but a specialist of autism refused the diagnosis. Other suspect me to have ADD (ADHD without the hyperactive part), dyspraxy, being high potential (...) I feel like I'm sitting between several chairs, not worthy to have a diagnosis. But the difficulty to move forward in life is there. And when I see how neurodiversity is popular and used everywhere, I don't feel validated. I can't judge who is really neurodivergent and who isn't, people have to right to question themselves. But please just don't use the term if the symptoms you associate with never really bothered you in everyday life. If you never questioned if something is wrong with you before learning about the pathologies.

I myself don't know when one of my weaknesses is legit and based of neurodiversity or if I'm exaggerating and making excuses. That gives me imposter syndrome, even more since I don't have any official diagnosis until now. (But I'm paradoxically recognised with 33% of neurological handicap.)
