idk if this counts as a vent but I need to get it off my chest- if I need to move it js lmk
I’ve guessed for awhile that I’ve been autistic but i haven’t fully accepted and just chalked it up to me overthinking as I often do but I think I’m actually autistic
I take things too literally a lot of the time, see very black and white, have a lot of sensory issues, and hate social interactions. I like having a plan for most things and doing them perfectly and in order, I notice small details that a majority miss, I’m thrown off by minor changes in my schedule and my environment, I’m often hyper focused on a lot of different things, Im accidentally blunt or rude, and I have a tendency to not fully understand other people emotions (I’m getting better at that part)
all of this is actually really relieving to know and it clicks really well for me to understand
it helps a lot to know what specifically makes me what I am rather than just not knowing
