Is it weird that the internet makes me doubt my adhd/asd diagnosis? I feel like the experiences people describe on social media barely line up with mine. I feel like I don’t fit in with a group that’s centered around not fitting in :(

Social media isn’t real life. It’s hard to see stuff like that and compare it to yourself but it’s ok. Also it’s a spectrum and you’re not going to be exactly like someone else with the same diagnosis.

Quoted from a podcast that my mom listens to, the great thing about the neurodivergent community, ESPECIALLY the autistic community, is that the spectrum is so wide and diverse that nobody minds if your experience is different. That doesn’t diminish who you are, because we all behave in similar and different ways.
