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.
Once is enough for me.
ASC, OCD, PTSD, (diagnosed) and ADD or trauma related memory damage (undiagnosed) 126 IQ, but tbh I don't think that's a true representation of intelligence, just a snapshot of how well people do at the IQ test specifically. Currently I'm doing a Bachelors degree, but I don't consider myself to be exceptional. Actually someone once told me "I'd never have guessed you were autistic" as if we couldn't achieve things, but that's patronising crap, more autists would achieve what neurotypicals do if society were built around autists instead and not the neurotypicals.
Iq:123 PhD 3 years in academic research 2 years as an analyst. Does that count?
