That “I grew up with undiagnosed autism” feel:

  • “Get your fingers out of your mouth.”
  • “Stop fidgeting/swinging your legs!”
  • No one asked to borrow pens or pencils from you because you chewed on all of them
  • Being the Leg Bouncer
  • Humming during class and not realizing it
  • You would ask the teacher to repeat things so much that kids groaned or laughed when you raised your hand so you just stopped listening
  • Being “The (special interest here)” kid
  • No one wanted you in their groups unless you did their project for them
  • Everyone talked around you but never to you
