I have experienced trauma my entire life. I just got out of a very emotionally abusive relationship. I developed severe PTSD symptoms in the last few years.
I’ve always felt that maybe I don’t think like most other people I encounter. I’ve always had a hard time connecting to people and seemed to attract some really bad people into my life.
I am very self aware, probably too much so. I am usually well liked and have never really had issues with social norms or anything. I do have some other habits that make me wonder. I’ve wondered if I’m schizophrenic before but I only meet a few of the criteria. My abusive ex tried to convince me I had borderline personality disorder, which I do have some symptoms of. However, these symptoms have lessoned since I left the relationship.
I think I might have high functioning autism, but I have never been evaluated. I am fairly intelligent and self aware so I know to hide a lot of my symptoms.
Anyways, I’m just wondering what are some traits you have?
Could you speak on ADHD and Autism co-occuring?
Certainly can. I think that’s going to be a long one and I’m gonna have to sit down and dedicate a chunk of time to coming up with a good response so it’s going to take me maybe 24-48 hours to get that sorted out.
Done!
I approached this topic from an internal, experiential perspective because that’s honestly the best I’ve got - there’s very little info out there on auDHD.
