Neurodivergent

@Notladylike is a genuine expert listen to her she's wise.

And autism is a spectrum and it doesn't make you Sheldon. It can certainly affect how your intelligence is perceived but that can be for better or worse.

I got my ADHD diagnosis this year and it's genuinely been positive for me to learn about how I operate.

I’m AuDHD, it’s very tricky to live with and essentially it's a disability. I wouldn’t say all autistic people are highly intelligent I think that’s a myth. It might be common to excel with a special interest or in one area and struggle with others like social communication or interactions. Look in to spiky profiles.

Im autistic no adhd though, but it is a challenge, it's called autism spectrum for a reason, it's a spectrum of ways to be, not to be, do don't worry about the intelligence thing, the feeling of not belonging is common in most people but magnified to an unreasonable discomforting extent to those on the spectrum, i get what you mean, your not alone🫂

don't worry about the names they attach to you

they mean very little

what matters is how you cope in life. and just remember dear - we all have problems coping - even the people that smile.

I'd give you a hug - but I have my own issues too

hang in there.

you're among friends here - or at least people that understand.

The whole “hyper intelligent” thing is a bit over stated. ASD is different for everyone who has it. For me, it’s more remembering details long after an event, and noticing things no one else seems to. It’s also last on my list of things…MDD, GAD, SAD, ADHD, PTSD and ASD.

I find pair bonding really difficult as a spicy neuro divergent. I'm part demi- and part sapio-sexual also.

I don't know what my 'personality type' is.

I feel that your psychologist wants a new Porsche..😷

Maybe you're just a little lost...
