Late diagnosis and noticing traits

I was diagnosed last year at 32 and I've begun to notice a lot more traits, and in particular stimming. The problem is that I'm now not sure if I'm doing things because I feel I should be doing them, or if it's just that I'm just noticing it more. The one thing that makes me feel less of an imposter is when I notice I've been doing something, like rocking or mushing my fingers together (can't think of a better way to describe that) for a while without noticing it. Does/has anyone else experienced this after a late diagnosis?

  • Heard a writer recently make a great point about Niles. How the obvious thing when setting up that show would be to have his brother be a total opposite, for comedic contrast. But the clever thing was to make him just like Frasier, but turned up to 11. It's a counter-intuitive choice in some ways (telly convention wise anyway), but it was clearly the right one.
