TBH reading those symptoms I bet a modern doctor would classify me with the condition.  I always say it is better not to know what is broken in you that way you just continue on with life instead of find justifications why you can't do it.

While I certainly don't view my autism in a negative light, I actually think being diagnosed at 19 was one of the best things to happen to me. Not only was it just nice to have an answer as to why I thought and felt so differently to others instead of constantly wondering what was wrong with me, it also put me on the path to finding a career I love in advocacy.

Yeah it is relieving to know why you arent like others and that theres no need to feel the same as others, once you know you can stop blaming yourself for it.
