Kinda personal, but when I was diagnosed with ASD, my difficulty in communication was really highlighted to me for the first time. Because it's so recent/fresh in my head, it's become something I think about a lot, to the point that I'm very anxious about being misinterpreted.
What's worse is that I'm very anxious about past interactions, that seemed fine, having actually been negative because of this difficulty. I kind of convince myself that I'm worse at communicating than I remember, because I only recently found out that I'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?
