5·2 years agoYeah, during the process of diagnosing my youngest, I chatted up one of the doctors, and she was telling me about how certain professions are packed with neurodivergent people, who are more qualified than the typicals.

Ask Autistic People@lemmy.autism.place•Older Diagnosed Peeps, what made you pursue your diagnosis?English
1·2 years agoYeah, no doubt. I get better parking and priority in queues. Not life changing, but if I can do it, why not?

3·2 years agoEar plugs are a remarkable tool. Since I did the first one, they have helped me so much. Nowadays, I take them with me any time I leave the house, and they help so much.
Hope those relationship issues are also getting better, along with the improvement in other areas you already mentioned.

2·2 years agoFor me, it was really only to know and also to have that when it comes time to talk to my youngest about it (fast approaching…). But the learning I have been doing for a while, so the diagnostic makes no difference, really. Oh wait, there was one interesting bit, doing an IQ test again to see what difference 30 years make from the first one I took (when I was trying to understand why the hell I was so “weird”, but it led nowhere back then).
