Finally started the diagnosis process at my therapists request and now I’m having these doctors clock me for traits I didn’t even know I had🥲. I feel like I’m having the opposite experience of everyone fighting to get a diagnosis

Also it turns out trying regulating strategies and self soothing is better than hating on myself for being weird and stupid?!

My eye contact is strange, I rock and close my eyes when I speak, and I tense my face muscles strangely. It’s weird because I came in about adhd and not asd and never really thought about myself in that way. I’ve got to go do a 4-8 hour test now because of that
