That was such a cool article thanks @Iona_RO I relate so much to the first point "having a low tolerance for things that aren’t in alignment with who they are." I used to get so upset by my friends who were pursuing careers based on what their parents said or just based on what was "logical" or "realistic" even if they didn't feel excited by it. I couldn't understand why they were signing themselves up for a life of misery and wouldn't fight for their passions. But it feels like a disadvantage for me, like I'll actually be the one ending up miserable because I can't just accept the way things are and do what is needed. But of course, all of our special traits that make us who we are, have pros and cons. It's fun but also strange finding out how many things about ourselves can be related to our neurodivergence. There are a lot of other relatable articles on that site as well.
I feel so small when I think of making a difference. I want to do some kind of volunteering when I'm feeling a bit better, at the moment I'm finding it really hard to do anything, but when I was a teenager I had a lot of lovely experiences volunteering.
