Reading about Autism has blown my mind, how have I had this many symptoms without at least looking them up atleast once. - Lemmy.world

I can barely remember everything that’s blown my mind. Seeing everything that I’ve felt, that’s made me feel so isolated from other people because I can’t explain it, or they just don’t understand is crazy. Especially Echolalia. I literally can’t go for a few seconds without quoting something. Especially Red Dead Redemption 2. Saying “sure” has never been the same after playing that game lol. Reading through this [https://autismacceptance.com/book/] has blown my mind. It’s like reading out my thoughts. Thanks for the support.

If I have almost all symptoms of Autism or ADHD but don’t get diagonised, what will I miss out?
Well you'll still be allowed in Australia
I meant that I am curious about the changes getting diagonised will bring. Will my personality change if I have a therapy? What kind of therapy will I have? etc.
Elaborate?
If you’re diagnosed with autism you might not be able to immigrate to some countries. Not sure about Australia, but New Zealand is notable for having such laws.
