How can I tell if something is because I'm British or something else?
When I put it in these terms, it seems like a question that really doesn't matter. My nationality gives me culture, my language frames the way I think. It's not a negative or a positive thing, it's just something that's an important part of my identity.
but I do think about this too sometimes when I am considering asking for adjustments at work (so far I haven't though I do need some I think) but I am always worried that it's not actually because I am autistic but just because I am not doing well/stupid/lazy etc.
I do wonder about that too sometimes but I don't think you can really untangle it because being autistic is such an integral part of our identity so I don't think you can really separate it.
We can’t and it doesn’t matter that we don’t know. There are far more important things to do than worry about things that are just self-annoying questions
