I wondered if that’s how you would react. I should, I feel like a lot of things would make sense within that framework (like getting over stimulated/burned out)
I don’t like labels. Call me NB or whatever you want if I like it.
I definitely got ADHD and I got most of the ASD symptoms among other things, though I don’t have that much social difficulty? I just don’t fit in anywhere.
I was always seen as “mature for my age” but I never felt like I wanted to fit in either, especially around peers I didn’t enjoy being around, I knew I was different to them and seen as a joke or weird to others. Being bullied and such didn’t help either for how I looked in school and well life at home wasn’t good either so I was alienated growing up and well when you leave school and have no friends it is hard to make new friends and I’ve spent more of my life alone than not… it’s just hard to find good friends irl
Labels are highly variable and can have different meanings per person, honestly I think you just gotta take em as they come and try not to stress. Ask for clarification, I do a lot.
Yeah, I’m in a weird space where I can pass as a woman pretty well but my unusual manner of dress (function over form, comfort cause autistic) and unusual demeanor sometimes throw people off, it’s funny tbh. I think they see “Woman But Scary” which is not wholly inaccurate. I am pretty comfy causing Gender Problems!!
It’s cool that you reached that conclusion on your own honestly, parsing things through the autism lens made my day to day a lot easier. Also there is a high commorbidity of trans and autism!!!
Labels are so hard to understand though

Story of my life
I don’t want to be stupid or immature or conformist enough to fit in, I could just use more irl friends that are interesting.

Same but better circumstances.

I dress a little weird, but it’s very colorful and fashionable in an idiosyncratic way.
