This community is always a trip because every time I’m scrolling through all and I see a post like this that is completely relatable there is a 50/50 chance it is from this community. I didn’t think I was autistic but y’all are really making me start to wonder.
YMMV but if you’re doing the thing where you think along the lines of “sure I’m weird but I get along fine” (borderline offensive paraphrase, sorry), you could be similar to myself in being subclinicly autistic. Just means you’re neurodivergent but not to an extent where you get any medical or legal benefit.
I’ve found that, after my therapist quasi-diagnosed me as such, I have an easier time being kind to myself and realizing what is bothering me and why.
Just food for thought.
Well just out of curiosity I took an AQ test and got a 20. While of course that doesn’t mean much on it’s own I should probably talk to my therapist about being properly tested. Being diagnosed wouldn’t really change anything but it certainly would explain some things.
That’s what I thought too, but it hit me harder than I expected. You might be surprised. Good luck.

I also really love Deep Rock Galactic because the “emotes” and recorded voice files are more than enough to communicate in game. No real need for voice chat or typing.
beautifully drawn!
There are also in-person Autism social clubs all over the place. See if there is one in your area if you want people to hang out with physically too.
