Kinda personal, but when I was diagnosed with ASD, my difficulty in communication was really highlighted to me for the first time. Because it& #39;s so recent/fresh in my head, it& #39;s become something I think about a lot, to the point that I& #39;m very anxious about being misinterpreted.

What& #39;s worse is that I& #39;m very anxious about past interactions, that seemed fine, having actually been negative because of this difficulty. I kind of convince myself that I& #39;m worse at communicating than I remember, because I only recently found out that I& #39;m bad at communication.

Urgh I wish I was diagnosed sooner. Things would have been easier if I knew I was autistic earlier.

Only being diagnosed this year is weird, it feels right, but also like this part of me that was never there before?

I don& #39;t even know if this thread is readable
