i do like the term neurodivergent, because it's often much easier to classify yourself into that than the specifics. Those expressions when people think you're weird or in general how much more relatable neurodivergent communities are can already be a sign then. And people mind it less when you self-diagnose neurodivergence. I would feel more comfortable saying neurodivergent rather than speculating about what it is specifically unless i'm already quite sure about the specifics. Personally i feel like i don't quite fit into the specifics. I'm diagnosed with adhd, and i don't believe i'm autistic, but i do have more traits that are typical of autism than of traits typical of adhd. It's just the social cues that make it seem unlikely, i catch them just fine. But also, is my view of my ability to catch social cues biased because i tend to spend time with people who have autistic traits? Who knows.
@@smartsmartie7142 if that's true then i'm probably autistic, but it's also rather a matter of definition then, isn't it, where's the line between adhd and autism etc. when you watch a video about "you're not autistic if...", it's usually this stuff. And since this is where most people draw the line, this is the most commonly accepted definition.

I don't think I talk a different amount from neurotypical people, it's just that all my talking for an entire week might come in a single conversation

Autism is a spectrum and you can be good at catching social cues and be good at socialising and still be autistic.

This made me realize that I have about 3 conversations a day, maybe 4 if something that involves me comes up during dinner.
