    Lol 30 but samesies. I occasionally joke that I have a spot of the 'tism but mostly figured I was just a nerd.

    Seeing a big red “significant autistic traits” makes me wonder if there are more systemic reasons I’m great with non human animals and small kids but a deer in headlights if an adult says hello.

      Anxiety? Self esteem issues? I may be projecting a bit here, but I score low on autism tests and suffer the same way as you.

        I don’t actually care, whatever some panel of dusty usaians decide my personality is officially called it doesn’t change anything.
