I was diagnosed a year ago...but I knew since HS...because ever since Kindergarten I was a bit...undercooked in the mental department. I wont get into details but I would have mental breakdowns and issues with knowing when to use the bathroom properly and I always had weird niches...Id watch something id like 1000times over and my understanding of social cues is laughable but I trained myself to read a room a bit better. I love videogames and art, and pretty good with music and rythm stuff and two decades of gaming experience across many genres, my work is niche...I love it deeply no matter what anyone says and its not for everyone I accepted my weirdness in that department.
Presently I am 27 I don't tell people or try to use my autism as a crutch but I am left to manage it on my own, and far from being able to live by myself without measing up somewhere; and the adhd and depression doesn't help. I have expectations of myself which I know is weird...and may trigger anxiety and the depression but I have to do things like pay bills, and manage relationships but none of that helps the adjusting part, nor fix the lonely issue. So saying hello and I hope to not burden with my social/friend seeking attempts.
