    I am diagnosed with ADHD but also have basically every Autism symptom to some extent. But I don’t know if pursuing an Autism diagnosis is even worth it, like it’s not treatable anyway, is it?

        Imho it’s not something that would even be classified as “treatable,” in the same way that being LGBTQIA isn’t something that the word applies to.

        However, much like being LGBTQIA, the knowledge of one’s own identity as being autistic provides essential context to understanding the weird experience of interacting with a world that is built for people who are not.
