Would you consider yourself to be neurodivergent, even if you have not been diagnosed with anything in particular?

I feel like I definitely am

I am unsure. I have a fluctuated ability to experience empathy and radically different perspectives, as well a far less need for socializing and seeking acceptance than most people. Same for being loved. And I do get overwhelmed by certain sensory input.

There have been guesses that I do by professionals. My siblings were previously diagnosed as having Asperger's. Now that's not the agreeable term.

It is even more complicated to decide because I had a TBI as a kid. I am very functional compared to many , even those who aren't neurodivergent. I also have PTSD and maybe my lacks are natural character growth to ensure survival. And since I do well socially when I want to, they don't need to be treated like problems. They are more inconvenient for others than they are for me. Often people wish to emotionally pressure me but all they achieve to get from me is more detachment.
@Miram you are extremely wise, intuitive, loving, kind and capable person inmho
