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.
Same IQ, but also panic packed and left the house with half the cutlery drawer in my bag once.
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!
