MODERATORS
Memes and posts about what happens when you have autism made me think "wait isn't that what everyone does?" Even then I thought what difference it makes knowing since I'm in my thirties and been working fine all this time.
Just took some tests, and it turns out I might be slightly on the spectrum. The first one I took was the raads and I got surprised to actually be above the threshold since I thought that most of my answers were what is normal. Then I took a couple more tests and even if I'm below the threshold is just by one or two points.
Even then I was like yeah that's not a big deal, besides some questions on the tests seem to need an update. But as I read more it seems to explain my behavior and difficulty to finish projects. So it may help to see a professional to help me determine the root issues and help me improve.
