    Thanks for sharing this article. It was really interesting and thought provoking.

    As I read through it I was thinking that not every single thing applied to me so I can't be autistic! (Those smart online tests suggest otherwise) I've spent 60 years trying to fit in it's so hard to really know who I am as I've spent so long masking.  I even got to the point of following the link for an appointment for an official diagnosis. And now I'm sat here crying - because? What if I spend all that money on an assessment and they say - nah. You're brain just works in the regular way and your self diagnosis is nonsense and actually - you're just a bit odd but not autistic. I'm super sensitive to criticism and rejection and that makes me feel fearful of moving from self diagnosis to official diagnosis. Ah the joys of imposter syndrome :(
