One of the things that suck about not being able to identify what you're feeling is not being able to judge the severity of a situation.
i kid you not I've had to research the signs of a nervous breakdown to be like ' oh, so the icky feelings were not just a passing thing that would go away if I ignored it enough, huh.'
And then try to imagine bringing this to a doctor and them asking how long it has been going on and you don't even have an answer because your baseline of existence is low-level discomfort and you're basically a living boiling frog metaphor.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, being autistic is like playing a board game without knowing any of the rules.

My entire childhood: Don't use that tone with me!/Don't talk to me like that!/Why do you have such an attitude?
Me, who didn't know about autism: What?

Undiagnosed Audhd culture is having a butt load of “mini routines” instead of strict routines or schedules (because it’s easier to keep and you can still have some spontaneity.)
(ex, I wash my hands in a certain order every time, I put on my clothes in a certain order, I have one app I always use in social situations for familiarity, I get ready for school in the same order every weekday, I solve problems using the same method(s) every time, I eat my food in the same spot every day, I sleep with the same things around me every day no matter my location)

Audhd culture is hyperfixating for hours making posts on tumblr.com only to end up with hundreds of drafts because even though it’s the only place you feel okay being yourself the combo of rejection sensitivity dysphoria + fear of being perceived still constantly keeps you from sharing anonymously with complete strangers on the internet
