Realizing that I meet some diagnostic criteria A for Autism Spectrum Disorder.

[Oz67]

I used to have severe communication delay during childhood, but as I got older, it felt like I only meet diagnostic criteria B for Autism Spectrum Disorder. As I was an older adolescent and a young adult, I thought that I only have restricted interests and repetitive behaviors, but then I realized that I have severe problems with back and forth communication and relating to people.

Ironically people on the spectrum are the minority, yet we’re made to feel like the non empathetic ones

It's nice to find others who are in the self-exploration process as well.
