“you used to only want to talk to older adults and never with your peers!” and then it took me until i was 19 to get diagnosed for some reason

Geez, probably because I was bullied and had no friends my age. My friends my first year of middle school were the ants in the colony I found under my favourite tree during lunch, assuming I even HAD a lunch period because the bus would frequently kick me off and I’d have to walk so I wouldn’t get home until late and couldn’t finish homework. 😒

Yeeep. Starting in elementary school and progressing into college I’ve always been a “””teachers pet””” entirely cause for whatever reason it always felt easier to talk to adults than other kids. Which was somewhat good cause it meant I viewed my teachers as people, but on the other end of things that behavior was uhh. Maybe not normal.

It’s cause the adults were required to be nice to me cause I was a child

“My daughter is such an old soul” No dad, you just need a therapist and stop talking to your child about your deep insecurities 🙃
