Today I have been diagnosed as having autism and aspergers and am looking for people to talk too
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.
Glad it ain’t just me
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.
