I Feel This

I feel this

I’m diagnosed as autistic, but I don’t really struggle a lot with social cues. I pick most of them up naturally it just takes a while. I have trouble figuring out when I’m supposed to speak so I usually just don’t. And I can’t usually tell when to stop a conversation. But I’m pretty good at all the other social stuff. Can I still be autistic? Is there a chance I was misdiagnosed?

"I pick up on social cues naturally but it just takes a while."

That's not picking up in social cues naturally. That's reading them and interpreting them after you learnt them via study and masking. Allistics don't need a while. It's instantaneous.

Trouble figuring out your turn to speak and stopping a conversation? Autism.

And pretty good at social stuff or you're no longer a child and have learnt the rules and regulations around social interaction?

This is classic imposter syndrome and I can tell you that if you are diagnosed as autistic, you're autistic. We're all different, yes, so my struggles will be different to yours. But reading social cues like an old 1950s radio manual is not the same as allistic understanding of social cues.

Note Taking Day For My Forensic Science Class. I Have 2 Chapters To Read This Week, Plus A Short Answer

Note taking day for my forensic science class. I have 2 chapters to read this week, plus a short answer assignment.

I’m also putting off making an outline for my research report for my business communications class. It’s stressing me out.

I’m done with my gender and society class and have 4 weeks left until I’m done with my associates. Almost 20 years in the making.

Yesterday I made the decision to go for my bachelors in data analytics and programming. It still feels crazy but I think it’s the right decision.
