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 . 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.
Yes, although I'm not sure how comfortable I am with that designation. I might have a high IQ but I failed at my PhD because I couldn't handle the stress (on top of other life stress) and I struggle with basic executive function. Nor have I achieved much in the over a decade since. Ho hum.
This forum is a good place to feel less alone.
My IQ is 126. I once took 45 minutes to change a plug.
More like when I need people to fork off and leave me alone haha.
To use on anyone who told you to fork off?
I had quite a few knives with me that day too for when the spoons ran out!
Well, we all run out of spoons from time to time, probably a good idea!
Well, it's an unusual look... but I'm sure you could carry it off!
And Jacob!
Same IQ, but also panic packed and left the house with half the cutlery drawer in my bag once.
Bet they saw you coming at the telescope shop
In fairness, I had no choice, as I looked stupid with two telescopes glued to my eyes.
:D Did they work any better than your £1 ones? I guess not or you wouldn't have needed to buy those...
Glasses.
What did you change it into?
