what cognitive malfunction makes it impossible for me to remember exceptions to routine, especially when under any pressure
@kara_dreamer like given you've said you suspect you might be on the spectrum it could be something to do with that?
I have the same issue myself XP
@Miffy yeah, wondering if I should get some cognitive tests done :/
@Miffy I grew up in the late '70s when autism was obscure still, and my overprotective and not very stable mother probably wouldn't have even thought of it. I'm partly convinced that my brother definitely *was* autistic, for his problems with conversation and socialization were an order of magnitude worse than mine, and he had some very definite indications, like eye contact and hyperfocusing on his hobbies to an extreme degree
@kara_dreamer ahh right, yeah, I know a lot of folks who would have been diagnosed if they lived now, my dad and grandpa are definitely autisc, but getting a diagnosis was impossible for them due to lack of knowledge
Yeah that does sound like v clear autism trates tbh?
@kara_dreamer If you wanna and feel it would help I guess? idk I was diagnosed at 7 so like, never really had a choice over it
