Autistic Questions

Have you ever suffered from bullying at uni for having accomodations? If so, can you please share your story and how you dealt with it?

Have you ever thought something like ''I'm starting to like this a little bit later than usual''? But with things that you're supposed to have liked years ago, for example:

-at 10ish y.o. girls start liking makeup and beauty, but at that age you were not interested in those things, you were focused on your hobbies and special interests. However, now that you're 23 or more you're slightly finding makeup and beauty a bit interesting (even though you don't even know how to wear lipstick).

Me and my sister are also very different (although both show different signs of autism, and share many other signs) and sometimes I doubt myself based on that.

Do you have any tips for dealing with something like this?

If you feel/think that you might be autistic, maybe the best thing to do is to find a therapist that can help you get diagnosed. But before doing that, try to read about autism as much as you can, that way you'll see if you can actually relate to some autistic traits.

Hiiiiiiiiiii!!!!

Don't worry! Welcome to the club, haha

Oh gosh! I can relate. I know how annoying it is. Have you tried with meditation? Or just listening to some calming music to fall asleep? Also, you can try having a tea before going to bed. I drink Sleepytime Tea at least 30 mins before bed, and it reaaaally helps A LOT. Here's a pic:

I'm medically diagnosed with ADHD, but a lot of my friends (in good faith) ask if I have autism

What do you think? Is it common for people to have both?

Well, you might be autistic as well. Most autistic people I know (not all of them, but most of them) also get an ADHD diagnosis. Autistic people have a higher rate of being ADHD, and vice versa. I am autistic and ADHDer.
