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.

Parents
  • ASD, ADHD, OCD, Tourette's, extra large boxers and an IQ of 156 at last check.

    Still can't get the chicks. Probably because I don't want to if the truth be told.

    I feel like a soul out of time. I feel like I belong in a future society where all the idiots have killed themselves off and it's just us ND lot living in paradise.

    c’est la vie.
