When we first started talking I asked him if he was autistic. I won’t go into details why… but I just thought there was something different about him. 6 years later I got diagnosed with autism and adhd. Yes what are the chances of that? Anyway, now he suspects he might have adhd. I actually think he has both autism and adhd but I can’t be certain. Obviously Im not a professional. but a lot of neurodivergent people get along better with fellow neurodivergent people. ---

Sorry to hear that. I cant offer much - apart from a bit of emotional support. The Daughter has autism - and even now - i struggle to understand her. Emma has the better handle on that. Corinne definitaly is drawn to other people with the same condition tho. ---

Random possible offensive comment but it seems everyone is getting diagnosed with autism Albert Einstein Eminem and almost every smart person I wonder if this “learning disability” is incredibly over diagnosed like massively overdiagnosed there’s NOTHING wrong with EINSTEIN Sorry if I offended anyone im just s skeptical that any of the people I mentioned have it ---

It’s a spectrum, some can speak others struggle with social cues and in social environments. I don’t know about Albert Einstein… I dint get diagnosed until I was 38 ---

nice … but if he is only adhd I think we got the kind where he likes to take the time with everything and I got the kind where I feel the need for everything to be done now. its frustrating. ---

I might be about the adhd… not sure about the autism but I do think about it… I can’t quite pinpoint exactly why. ---
