New diagnosis

Hi me again lol, is it also normal to start noticing urself doing “autistic” things that u haven’t noticed before ie if there’s something near me to fiddle with I’ll fiddle with it ie tv control, a bottle top or my headphones. Also that said fiddling is increased more when anxious which I find strange as I didn’t seem to be as severe before I got diagnosed. 

Since I was diagnosed I have noticed all sorts of "autistic" things I do that I never realised I did. I think subconsciously I am now allowing myself to do those things whereas before I was clearly suppressing them.

But on the surface it seems like I am way more autistic than i ever was before.

No it ain’t! Heard of masking? Trying to pass? You’ll be more self aware at this present point and maybe masking less. I find if I’m stressed out I display stringer autistic traits as well.

Glad it ain’t just me
