Shoutout to all the people who went undiagnosed in their childhood because despite never fitting in and feeling like you belonged, you got good grades, and that was all that mattered to anyone.
@skyler @hotkey I think getting good grades may have actually been one of my hyper fixations.

@keira_incognita I was in a class for gifted kids, hung around with nerds like me in a bubble. Surfed through school, we had contests like "who would get better grades / make the fanciest lab reports".

Didn't really have friends on the "outside" because I never fitted in.

Then I got out of school an into the real world and everything came crashing down.

Oh I'm autistic? Oh maybe ADHD? Oh, gender dysphoria?
... would have been nice to have a heads up, I don't know... DECADES AGO!?
