well, basically tik tok started recommending me a lot of videos about autism, adhd, audhd, aspergher's and that kind of thing more specifically. i started watching them and what they describe as 'symptoms' or whatever seem to match with a lot of things i tend to do. i then found a screening test which is used to see if a diagnostic is worth it (it's some kind of psichiatrically approved test) and my score was positive for asperghers. of course it doesn't mean anything because i need a professional but it got me thinking if maybe it is my own bias or if maybe i should try and seek professional help, a lot of my issues when it comes to my "professional" life i feel have been fucked up because of things that could be related to this, so that's what kind of bothers me, and also that maybe has impacted in some ways in my social life or social skills. but i dont know if maybe i'm just being dumb or not, so i'd like to know what it was for other comrades.

Kinda similar for me. Had a burnout, paid more attention to my patterns, did lots of therapy, got into the neurodivergent social media bubble, and figured it out with the help of other patients.

Just a friendly note on the term Aspergers: it's been merged back into Autism Spectrum Disorder, because 1 it's just a different manifestation of the same thing, 2 Asperger was a Nazi who experimented on his patients and let them be murdered, and 3 the differentiation between "Aspergers" and Autism at that time was that the Aspergers patients were economically productive and Autistics were not.
