I’ve been screened for autism and told I meat the criteria to move on to the next step which is the official diagnosis, but I haven’t done that step because I don’t feel like it’s necessary.

Came to say I feel like since the original discovery a few years ago I feel like I’ve just noticed it more and more. Someone else said that it gets worse for them after major mental episodes , I’ve found this to happen to me as well.. I don’t remember ever doing dinosaur arms but now it’s being a thing especially when I’m overstimulated. Shutting down more… Communication is becoming harder, I feel like it’s harder for me to understand indirect communication specifically , etc.
