Does anyone else experience this?
Hi all, I’m 25f and undiagnosed but unsure. I have ADHD and OCD, which I understand that symptoms overlap a lot with those of autism. My question is- can anyone relate to feeling chronically younger than peers? I feel like people look at me like I’m younger than I am because I do things that others don’t, or that they’re better at hiding (such as swaying, rocking, zoning out, fidgeting). I also have very specific interests which other people find strange or humorous. It’s just a feeling I get when speaking to others that they view me as younger because of neurodivergence, even if they can’t put it into those words exactly. I’m not diagnosed but I’ve suspected for a long time now, but I’m not trying to self diagnose. I don’t really have the option to get an evaluation at the moment.
