At first, it wasn't relieving. I was actually very upset to know, but I've worked my way through that, and an basically attempting to understand myself more and learning more, too. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Good on you for getting assessed about being on the spectrum, Tre! I never had the guts — and what benefit would I possibly get from it? But your description sounds awfully familiar to me. I remember my sister being irked with me when we were kids: "Jack! Just because you think of something, and it's true, doesn't mean you have to say it!" Oh?
I used to be better at "peopling" than I am now. Deb and I went on a week-long cruise with her brother, his wife, and their sister, and I recognized the signs that I was not being a proper people. Part of my cognitive decline in my late 60s, alas. Oh well!
Yeah, the assessment and psychological visits have been more for me than anyone else. I just got tired of not knowing and wondering "what's wrong with me?", you know?
I had to have several visits for my psychologist to confirm the initial assessment but he wonders about other diagnoses, too. For now, I am happy to have it confirmed, everything else will fall in line when it's time. 🙏🏾🩵
This is so relatable, I’ve always felt like I probably have autism but I’ve never been assessed

I love a happy ending, even when it's just one episode and I have no idea how long the season will last! 💚
Haha! I do, too, Jack!

And in the end, there is nothing wrong with you! Just different, is all. Just our Tre.

Amen! Amen, indeed. 💜❤️🩵
