I definitely showed more traits when I was young. I hated bright lights and loud noises, I carried specific items with me everywhere I went, I often missed social cues amongst my peers at that age, and I visibly and noticeably stimmed (rocked back and forth, squinted, rubbed my face). I still stim sometimes, but I think the fact that I feel leagues more comfortable in social situations these days is what mainly makes me feel like I'm "faking it". I do miss some social stuff sometimes. But I've also done a lot of things I never thought I'd be able to do when I was a kid - I can drive, I have a career, I have close friends, lots of things that I was certain were unattainable (mostly bc I was riddled with depression and anxiety). I think my biggest fear is that I've been considering myself on the spectrum and then finding out that I never was. Like I was taking advantage of a group that I don't belong to
Impostor Syndrome-ish
I often feel like I'm "not autistic enough", like I'm faking it or I'm just misdiagnosed because I don't have a lot of the big signs typical of someone on the spectrum. I was diagnosed when I was young so that makes it feel like maybe the diagnosis was wrong. I don't know if I just mask really well or if I'm lying to myself. It's rough. Can anyone relate to that or give me some words of wisdom?
Shark Game (Browser) is always fun, and the art is a real plus.
ISEPS (Google Play) this one's nice too, pretty polished
How does Teamspeak differ from Discord in terms of ownership? Bc it seems like the functionality is pretty similar
