    My boss at work is diagnosed and has said multiple times that I’m definitely on the spectrum. Also my coworkers have said that. Idk, I don’t feel autistic. But I do have very specific opinions on most matters, or absolutely no opinion at all.

      You are likely high functioning autistic.

      One of the key aspects to most mental issues are you feel entirely normal. Because you have zero fucking frame of reference for ANY other state of existence.

      It’s why it’s basically impossible to self diagnose with any level of reliability.

        This, I’m the same. The only sign that I can look at myself and think “thats kinda weird huh?” is me stimming when I’m excited. And even then, didn’t have a clue that was related with autism until I was told. I thought it was weird, but I just tried to rationalize it as being hyped up on sugar or smth even when I hadn’t had any recently.

        As far as I’m concerned I’m just like a guy? Idk
