I’ve been trying to articulate this for years now but couldn’t string together those words so efficiently
Yay I’m not alone!
I learned that I’m the “don’t notice cues” type, but I learned to (kinda) read a room. After reading rooms for a while, I realized it was bullshit and started brazenly defying the stupid ones. It’s very fun to openly challenge management, btw
I’m terrible at reading cues but I somehow developed the ability to identify every situation where I might be missing a cue. I then try to guess what it is. It works well enough that I dare say I’m now even better than neurotypicals at this in any situation I’m already familiar with. Sadly it doesn’t work the other way around: people still extrapolate a hundred different wrong conclusions from every little thing I say.
I thought I was, now I just listen to my heart and do what comes to me, forget all the social business, I’m a good person and tired of second guessing myself
Same. Getting older helped a lot. Giving way fewer fucks now!
I am in this picture and i dont like it
Wait, is this a real thing?
Kind of. Lots of false positives and confirmation bias is involved, and it aligns more with anxiety disorders (“hyper-awareness”) than ASD.
Similar, I think because I have ADHD and Autism or something of that nature. I can never tell where the line between the two is TBH.
I’m AuDHD too. It can be difficult to say the least.
This is from my assessment training manual:
"The AuDHD profile is defined by competing neurological needs that can create significant internal conflict. Key contradictions include:
- The need for routine and predictability (autism) in conflict with the need for novelty and stimulation (ADHD).
- Social exhaustion and sensory overwhelm (autism) in conflict with loneliness and desire for connection.
- Perfectionism and high standards (autism) in conflict with procrastination, task initiation failure, and inconsistency (ADHD).
- Deep, sustained special interest focus (autism) interrupted by ADHD-driven distractibility and difficulty sustaining attention on non-preferred aspects of those same interests."
Sounds like they were writing a story about me in there.
Good luck on your journey!
