These insights reflect common themes I’ve observed in clinical settings, assessment conversations, and client storytelling. It may not apply to everyone, and research is still catching up on a lot of this. This content is for general education and shared understanding, it is not clinical advice or a diagnostic service.

Stephanie :

What if I talk in Taylor Swift lyrics?

midwestgirl80 :

That example with the cafe… I cannot for the life of me understand why people think that’s rude!! 😅

Stephanie :

When I'm talking to 2 people, I'm thinking about how I need to look at both of them equally and not just one.

Laura 🦓♾️🐙🏳️‍🌈🍉 :

ladonna0616 :

Yes! Aced another test! ⭐️

Emma R :

I THRIVED during COVID when we couldn't socialise, colleagues were complaining they miss seeing people but I could have stayed at home forever. I'm either extremely introverted or something else is going on 🤷

carsten 🌈♾️ :

I do 1 so much, I stop myself now because I think other people see it as self-centered and to take away from their story 😔

Kiki :

All of these!!!! But point 3 - instead of using quotes from movies, I sing a song as soon as I hear someone (or me) say words reminding me of that song. And mind you, I can’t even sing… 🤦🏼‍♀️😅 if only I could sing… 😅😂

lLurk1337 :

So, I have a formal diagnosis of ADHD, but literally everything you said applies to me. I have suspected I am AuDHD but lack a formal assessment.

KattTea :

.-. I feel seen and called out all at once

Maisie 🧚💫 :

One thing I notice that I do is I will automatically answer a question for someone else. Like 2 people working at a bar. A customer asks the other bar tender about the beer and I’ll answer. I only notice after I’ve done it. Does anyone else do this?

Beefsquatch :

Undiagnosed but went five outta five. I have felt for many years I’m on the spectrum, it explains so much about my childhood and adolescence.
