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.
What did you change it into?
Well, it's an unusual look... but I'm sure you could carry it off!
And Jacob!
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.
