You mean you've never been diagnosed? I've always got big autism vibes from you. Fellow autist here. 😛

ROTFLL!!!!
I mentioned this to a friend irl today and they were like "uhh yeah?" fffuuck

I don't have an autism diagnosis, however, if I'm not neurospicy then shit science really needs to change the definition for a few of those conditions. Tldr an autism diagnosis absolutely would be predictive of the challenges I face in my human experience week to week.
I think the value for you is to explore what perspectives and contexts best exemplify your human experience week to week. As an adult, I wouldn't let a lack of formal diagnosis gatekeep you from identifying as on the spectrum.

I just don't want to be like "I'm on the spectrum" and then turn out not to be and like... claiming something that isn't true and get a bad rep for it...
its dumb. anxiety is dumb.
and also, if I am on the spectrum, does that mean I'm entitled to accommodations? what would those be? what am I allowed to have when I've been doing "fine" without them for 40 yrs? (except I haven't I just never realized how miserable the office makes me until after I got to WFH for a few years and it was better) and what if actually getting diagnosed just makes things _worse_ because now I've got it on paper that I'm "disabled" and I can be discriminated against because current politics are allowing that.
i fucking hate anxiety
