So, I did some searching online for a connection between Autism and Gullibility, and stumbled upon this article that was like reading a diary of my life.

Little backstory about me. I was diagnosed with ADD at age 4 and carried on with that belief until I was 20 years old, when I found out that I actually had Autism/Asperger's during a psych evaluation for some legal trouble I was in. This article describes a child on the spectrum up into adulthood and a lot of the scenarios mentioned really reflect how my life has gone.

If anyone else has a similar experience while reading this article, let me know! It's not particularly long, as articles can go, but it's also not short. I'd approximate it at about a 20-30 minute read if you can read fast.

Yes. That's what I was getting at. I ended up looking for a connection to gullibility, but found so much more.
