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.

My last therapist refused to test me, because she knew that autism and several other conditions have a lot of symptom overlap.In the current domestic political climate, it's blursed. I could use some help managing certain aspects, but I don't want to stick out on the poor left, or go to work for Karp, either.
