This isn't autism, this is universal.
Like 80% of these autism/ADHD subs
The problem with tags is often amplified with Autism and a lot of neurotypicals do not struggle with this whatsoever, I don't know anyone who does.
I'd prefer more specific posts, but this post is fine.
I recall a post about resting your foot on its side while sitting in a chair meaning you're autistic.
I still don't know if that one was facetious or not.
Is Autism the new depression? People saying they totally have it when they are undiagnosed and mostly experiencing the same things as everyone else?
Not even close to true, most people I know don't remove tags
There’s a huge difference between a tag bothering you throughout the day, and a tag completely destroying your ability to function.
