MG, remember when you learned about autism on here and had those revelations where parts of your life suddenly made sense for the first time.
Regardless of the piece of paper, if the things you learned (before you were filled with doubts) changed your life for the better and allowed you to be more healthy and especially to engage in self care, then hold onto those revelations and dont doubt them.
People on the autism spectrum tend to have uneven cognitive profiles, strong in some areas, weaker in others and everyone is different... If you've met one person on the autism spectrum, you've met one person on the autism spectrum.
For me executive functioning plays a large role in how well I function in day to day life, pre burn out I was capable of much more than I am now, it's (anecdotally) a common experience.
Thank you lots.
