I don't have autism

Hey I'm sorry, I'm a liar.
I created this account when I tought I might be on the spectrum.
I pretended to be diagnosed and stuff.
If anything I problably have adhd.
I'm sorry I just feel so weird, like there's something wrong with me.
I feel like an alien around "normal" people and I feel more comfortable here. I know I'm not "normal" but I'm not autistic, I'm sorry for pretending to be and infiltrating this community.
I like it here tough, the people are so nice and i feel far more understood.
I guess I just kinda hoped this could be a place where I could feel like I belong.
I don't know what exactly is wrong with me to be honest, I just feel like a new species of human.
I feel like im so much more mature than people my age and older than me, but at the same time I feel like behavior wise I'm far back in development.
What I'm trying to say with that is that I feel like I have very childish tendencies I don't wanna call myself innocent because I'm not and it feels weird to say that, honestly I don't know.
Whatever sorry again, I hope I could still stay in this community with all you lovely and passionate people 💗
But I get it if you're uncomfortable around me.
 
I am, as you would call me, a "normal" NT person, but i don't feel normal at all because of my social anxiety. I don't fit with autistics, I don't fit with NT, so I just don't think about fitting anymore. "If it fits - I sits." You are welcomed here whatever diagnosis you have (or haven't).

Well hi, I haven’t been diagnosed with autism or anything and I would never want to selfdiagnose(?), but sadly I don’t really have anyway to get diagnosed or see a therapist/ psychologist, I don’t think I am on the spectrum but at the same time I do, this is the weirdest text I have ever written.
I hope it’s okay with everyone if I still join this chat even tough I am not diagnosed

It looks to me as though you openly admitted that you were not sure that you had ASD. There are several people on the forum who don't by the way so I don't expect any problems with you staying.
 
I have felt the same way all my life and I was diagnosed with Asperger's in my early 40s. If you enjoy the interactions here and feel at home, then you should not be self-conscious about a tiny fib. We all seek acceptance and a place to fit in, so welcome.

As long as you "Normals" don't spread your NT germs to the Autistic community, you can stay. :p

You're still welcome here! I'm in the same boat as you, even though I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome when I was 8 I still don't feel it fits me. I have diagnosed ADHD too and I feel I 100% fit that description, but I don't really identify with autism. I like being here though, because it's active and I have made some friends that I happily chat to via PMs.

I have been told to go elsewhere if I feel I don't identify as autistic, which I think is a bit rude, as there are some NTs here anyway. But I'm not NT, as I have ADHD, which is probably one of the closest things to autism, so we should feel welcome here too. I've tried ADHD sites but they weren't as active as this one. I belong to a mental health forum too but that's so big that sometimes your threads don't always get noticed.

So anyway, yeah, do stay! :)
 
You are absolutely welcome. We have diagnosed and many self diagnosed including some who aren't sure, and other types of ND and NT who just like and can relate to the conversations. As long as I have been here its always been the same, more or less, be friendly/respectful be welcome. That's about 9 years now.
 
I've got AuDHD as well, as @Jonn mentioned. I wouldn't totally rule out the possibility of comorbidity without a professional weighing in (if it matters to you, of course). Some of us were diagnosed later in life as well, so there's always time to figure out all the details. You never really know until you know 👍
