I'm in a similar situation. A few years back, my ex said they though I was autistic. At the time I brushed it off, but now I think they were probably right. I don't know what to do with that information, but I feel like I now have a slightly better understanding of myself.
I don't know whether you're autistic or not, but I think either way is ok and doesn't really change who you are.
That makes sense, ya. I wish I knew earlier too, I think it would have helped me out a bit.
