I'm self-identified with high-masking autism, with inattentive adhd. Since I remember, even in my childhood years, I was seen as somehow different or odd. Though no one might though at all that I may have audhd, maybe cause where I live knowledge about ND people, or mental health in general is limited. I will give some examples below, these might be small things, but I just wanted to know if other people relate.

I hate mixing food. I dont eat multiple different foods together, or even if I did, I have to seperate them, and eat them one at a time.

When I open chips packages or something similar, I try so hard not to tear or ruin the sides, then i fold it perfectly before throwing it away.

Some plates and spoons make me uncomfortable, I only use a couple of specific spoons and plates

I had this one mostly in my childhood, everytime I turned around to a side I had to turn to the other side too, cause I felt that a rope was around me if I didn't.

I'm a 20yo female, I've come to the realization that I have (high masking Autism) + (inattentive ADHD). I felt different all my life. Social inetraction were so weird to me, and I couldnt do them properly. So I studied and mimicked others. I have a racing mind, it won't stop at all, and jump between topics all the time. My social battery shut down completely after some time of interacting. The more I do researches, the more I feel finally understood. Getting a diagnosis is completely impossible for me for many reasons, atleast for now. If anyone can help me with getting more certain, I would appreaciate the help. I'm struggling so much with daily activities that are supposed to be easy. And treating myself like I have auDHD has helped me understand myself so much. If I don't have auDHD, then I don't know anything, nor about myself or life or anything.
