Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
I've heard that one before ^^ loads of common phrases you'd get just doing some research and hearing anecdotes from people
Autism runs in my family but I never got tested, my nephews both are though they're young
I never had any idea, I just felt like a loner and never had any friends, but it was my wife that told me she thought I was autistic and then doing research for a few years on it was clear to me then.. just one of those where everything kind of lined up, found out I have misophonia and light sensitivity and a load of other co-morbidity lol
Yeah I thought about being tested but I think it wouldn't be worth it in the end.
"Autism runs in my family but I never got tested, my nephews both are though they're young"
I feel that so hard. My dad is like, super autistic in exactly all the ways I am, but it would absolutely destroy my family if I said so.
It's definitely easy to see the traits once you're aware.
What upset me thinking back on it was I took lots of abuse growing up with my family for like sensory stuff or textures and other things to have them completely different with my nephews. I'm glad they get the help they need and accommodations.
At least I dont have to hear the excuses anymore
Honestly basically what's going on in my head rn, though rather than a wife it was my ex and a lot of my friends pointing it out to me, plus a general suspicion I've had for years on account of certain quirks I have. Also your wife is helping give me the 'tism too I guess since her posts are helpful to illuminate it for me.
I did 3 years research too so I'm well versed in a lot of neurodiverse topics lol
But yeah I can see traits in people looking back, I didn't suspect I was autistic even with family clearly showing the signs. It only took a day or so of research for me to acknowledge that I'm autistic, I also score fairly high in the tests.
