edit: i don't think autism is the right word to use, more so just non-neurotypical (or possibly if any of this is a result of my depression/anxiety)
hey, this isn't a huge concern, more a curiosity of mine after i did a bunch of thinking about myself.
i'd like to hear your opinions on it since i know absolutely nothing about autism and other neurodivergencies
in school, i've always been pretty smart (getting high above-average grades), despite having really terrible memory and never studying - i always wrote this off as picking things up super quick, but ive never met anyone else with 'natural' intelligence. recently i saw a few reddit posts that mentioned something about how many 'gifted' kids tend to be neurodivergent, so it got me thinking lol
i'm also, generally speaking, quite strange though i don't think i've ever given it as much thought as i have in the past few days. i suppose it's hard to explain, but there are several habits i have (such as always needing to have something in my mouth to chew, cutting clothing tags off of everything [and i find clothing somewhat irritating nonetheless, especially if it has seams - i used to throw tantrums bc of this as a child], laying on the floor just because i can) that i've rarely come across in someone else.
additionally, i have an extremely difficult time understanding other peoples feelings/reactions due to my apathy - i've always believed this was because of my childhood trauma, but i'm aware some autistic people can have difficulty in social situations bc of this or similar
any ideas? i don't mean any offence by this, i'm just genuinely curious (: if it could possibly be something please tell me anything you know! i love finding out new info about stuff
