I always assume that my brain is structured in a way that at least 5% of people could relate to my general thought processes, but it turns out that some of my experiences of being a human are really just a “me” thing. I’ve often told myself that I’m just like everyone else, and that all of my personality traits are explainable by a mishmash of stereotypes and systemic influences. But I guess there’s more to it than that, and I’ve been selling myself a bit short.

    I once managed to puzzle our HR person into silence when I explained why I did something a certain way.

        I don’t have any official diagnosis or anything, but some neurodivergent friends have sent me some stuff and I’m probably some form of neurodivergent, yeah.

          Have you considered getting assessed? I really didn’t think it would make a difference but it changed my life

            I have looked into it, but even getting an appointment to get assessed where I live is a waiting period of like a year or so…
