common signs of being ND

[cov]

I feel i have a lot of symptoms of being neurodivergent but never been diagnosed can yall tell me some signs to look out for so maybe I can get a grasp of if I am or not

 

[faciallyrecessed]

main thing atleast for me is feeling different as opposed to others my age

 

[kaisoover]

do you feel what I feel?

if yes, you’re autistic as shit

 

[kaisoover]

but seriously so do I.

listen I can converse with people normally. FOIDS INCLUDED. I can talk, be funny, make people laugh all the time. Call it charismatic

but still I feel like such a fucking outcast

I really can’t explain it but there is so much thoughts at once in my head 24/7, different POVS of random shit. I can’t explain it.

wierd mood changes are present 24/7 but that shit could just be the teenage hormones playing rn.

I hate trying to sound different since ofc everybody WANTS to be different but I always felt like theres something about me thats different compared to others. Whether it’s in a bad or a good way

I’ve met only 2 or 3 people who I felt were ALSO DIFFERENT, but still not exactly like me

either way theres no way you can be 100% sure, just don’t worry about it and live your life as you would. If you survived up to this point, there’s no reason to get a professional to tell you you’re autistic. It’s just putting shit into your brain telling you in the back of your head “YOU’RE DIFFERENT YOU’RE DIFFERENT YOU’RE DIFFERENT THEY DON’T LIKE YOU, YOU’RE AUTISTIC”. Just do what you do now and have fun

No most people feel different because you are different yourself compared to how people present themselves in society which you view as the norm

One of the autism criteria’s is literally feeling really different from others, you can tell whether someone is doing it performatively.

I am socially withdrawn from people and do my own thing this also includes having/liking interests that don’t align with most people’s general beliefs if your hated for it and still pursue it your most likely an aspie.

But I do understand your take.

I don't doubt it's an autism trait but it's not exclusive to autists

If that's the case I'm an aspie as I have weird interests I haven't told a soul (not creepy sexual ones just normal weird ones out of the norm). I thought everyone had hidden interests they didn't show the public

But I do understand your take.

That’s the thing wherever you are super expressive about it, cause with fixations it’s just super hard to not want to just make it your everything which is a thing they do have to deal with.

Yes it’s not a exclusive mutually thing BUT however it is one of the categories in the DSM-5 but that’s what makes it not a telltale sign just one of many that need to be ticked off to actual get a valid diagnosis.

I see, so autists are open about it

Yeah definitely true man. I've always had hobbies I was super interested in that aren't mainstream and was an outcast socially. If you feel different from the others you probably are. Aspies and NTs mix about as well as oil and water

You just think you're special but you're not

 

[gioscottist]

No they do not

Nope definitely not.

How would you know? Can you read their minds?

 

[Pony]

Yep, that’s one of the biggest differences cause most normal people wouldn’t be so expressive but yeah to your point not every person or autist will be the same.

It’s just majority in this case, they also love to be asked and question about it so that also is one of the reasons they could be so expressive.

 

[Pony]

How would you know? Can you read their minds?

I mean i’ve read many papers and did my extensive research from observing people and actual papers.

No, I cannot read minds but I can do research.

Yep bro, they’ll never understand the intense interest and burning passionate with it. they’ll just deem it as being obsessive and creepy and they will also tell you to just “get over it”

Bullshit, you’re right on your analogy just like oil and water LMFAO.
