I got a weird one. Multiple friends, including one who is diagnosed with autism and one who is diagnosed with ADHD and family members have asked me if I thought I had some form of neurodivergence. The autist friend thinks probably autism, the ADHD friend thinks maybe ADHD. The others, who don’t know much, mostly asked about autism or aspergers. But I don’t see ASD as fitting at all.
I’m quite introverted and don’t do well in big social situations, sure. I also don’t deal well with conflict even if I’m not directly involved. But I have no issue with faces, or eye contact, or body language, or reading emotions, or sarcasm.
I’m quite analytical in my thinking, but not overly so, I would say. Sometimes I get episodes of hyper-focus where I stay on a task for unnaturally long, not managing to take a break to eat and such. That one is a bit suspicious, but it’s also a pretty rare occurrence.
