Any other twice-exceptional people here?

2E means you re intellectually gifted as well as having some sort of neurodiversity aka ASD, ADHD, dyslexia etc. I am AUADHD myself and always been above average in academics. Most people seem to think I'm very capable of handling myself but I really struggle with day-to-day tasks. I am completely timeblind so rely on my outlook calendar and auditory reminders for events. I also have a hard time interacting around neurotypical people as I can't seem to relate to them. Small talk drives me crazy Joy. The feeling that I don't really belong makes me feel depressed and anxious. However, I know that I am actually in quite a decent place, have stable income and I have very supportive parents (can't say that for the rest of my family though!) I just want to feel less alone.

  • Welcome fellow AuDHD. I've never doine any IQ tests in my 'native ' language polish. I did one on facebook 5 years after coming to UK, my english was sligtly above average and I still scored enough to end up iin top2%. I actually skipped one question because I didn't know words used in it

    I say: I'm good with things and how they work, and what laws of physics say about it, and very bad with people. Everything is easy until people come and mess it up.
