    TIL I’m autistic. You’ve described my experience almost to the point I feel I wrote it.

      Oh, and don’t beat yourself up about it. My parents were both doctors and one was a neurologist, and I managed to get to 34 with 3 undiagnosed conditions that handicapped my entire life until that point.

      Now I’m 38 39 (Time Blindness) and self diagnosed with:

      ADHD Combined Type - Severe

      Narcolepsy

      Autism - Extreme Systemizer - Type S

      And then self corrected all three with positive coping mechanisms.
