Your ASD assessment doctor asks you about your friends.
You name some people you knew more than 40 years before, in Kindergarten.
You haven't talked to them since.

...you are accused of being someone you may not be able to understand very well.

You have a weakness for bringing home pets.

When you tell your daughter you're getting a puppy she says:

"Who will look after it? Who will walk it? This is a big responsibility, mum!"

People missed out by not knowing you, Isabella.

If you, at age 8, knew most of the capitals
of the world, and didn’t care that very few really gave a damn about that.

At age 8 I didn't know the capitals of the world.
I loved doing research projects in the library though.
I was teaching myself to do Bibliographies at that age.
My favourite project was about Italy.

I still don't really know world capitals, unfortunately.

...NTs around you enjoy stereotyping, but you don't know what stereotyping is.

You have emergency stim kits in your house, your car, and your handbag.

You have backups (duplicates) for each of your sensory items in case they get lost.

You brush your skin with a Wilbarger Brush in public.

You bring your own curtains back and forth to your partner's house, to fix the lighting.

when your son was little him and his friends was fascinated with your stim toys because they thought they were actual toys to play with

Your dog wants your chew toys.

If your wardrobe has the same style of clothes just like what you see in my purple video upload.

When you are still constantly occupied with rescripting an altercation you had 20 years ago.

. . . it takes you a long time to notice how differently others react. My wife and I got a letter accusing us on one page of being fascists, and on the next of being communists. I thought that this came out neutral. My wife did not.

Rarely speaking in school because everything was so overwhelming (and not just due to "shyness", which for a while I had assumed to be the case).

...you like to watch a great cult classic that a parent absolutely has a strong hatred of.

Hospital doctors ask you to teach their student about something you've researched.
You aren't in med school but you know more about it than they do.
