@floorspace: hardly anyone gets me 😔💔 I find neurodivergent people who have been diagnosed for 5+ years difficult to befriend because i havent had the same experience as them growing up. whereas with neurotypical people i had a somewhat similar experience growing up but there was always a deep rooted feeling that they don’t understand me. #hehim #autistic #neurodivergent #socialising #actuallyautistic #07 #UK

{•♡✮𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑒𝑡𝑡✮♡•} :

ani 🪽 :

I FOUND MY PEOPLE.

astrid ☆ hyunwoo’s :

right cause im too “weird” for neurotypicals but i had to drop out of my nd school cause i was pretty much the only masking person there and i didnt fit it AT ALL😭

𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘬𝘢 🍓 :

I spent 14 years of my life undiagnosed😭

☆ :

I've masked so hard it's just apart of me now it's like I am 2 different ppl inside 1 body

Sarah-Jane🧟‍♂️ :

THISSS!!!the women I went to see about my autism (for a proper diagnosis and I was 15) said I “learnt how to cope with it” and that the diagnosis would ruin my life 💀

☥ francesca 🇬🇧🇪🇺 :

got diagnosed early but spent my whole life forcing myself to fit in to the point i dont relate to any autistic person anymore 💔

l.i.v.s132 :

Thiisss like just cause I’m no nonverbal or smth like that don’t mean I’m no autistic 😪

☥ :

how would being diagnosed late effect how neurodivergent you are 😭

plume (they/them) 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ :

not good enough at masking to pass as "normal", but I masked for so long that I sometimes wonder if I lost the ability to ever really be happy

caddy258383 :

hey so im on the waiting list for an adhd and autism assesment so i was wondering if anyone who has been diagnosed wtih both can tell me how the assesments were or people that have only adhd or only autism thanks

aneira :

I don’t relate to lots of autistic people because I have pda type of autism 💔

anni + edi ✧.* :

got diagnosed with autism a few days after my 18th birthday

Kassadin :

I have to check myself sooo hard when it comes to judging BOTH groups, but especially other autistic people. I'll think, "How do you not get how that works it's basic- oh yeah." lol. It's both a privilege and a curse to be socialised well enough to fit in with others.

forkinbored :

I HATE THE FACT THAT I PASS AS NEUROTYPICAL TO NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE MORE TBH 😭😭😭😭

AJollyWalrus :

↻- donkey -↺ :

sup3rnov3r :

minnie :

millie ⭐️🛋️ :

Le3zler [1# HOPUS FAN] :

Got diagnosed at the age of 16 while all the other neurodivergent people I know had their diagnosis at like 8 so that's low-key real

B.0.T.S :

Masked so hard I don’t have an identity at 21

𝓢𝓪𝓶 💜👾😈🦄🪻☂️🫟🔮 :

Anjayni :
