Considering an Autism Diagnosis: Feeling Stuck

So I've been thinking about it and I might have autism or some form of it. The way I interact with people and have conversation in general, is odd to me. Three people in my immediate family have a form of it. I just feel not normal I guess? But I don't want to get tested officially because I don't want to accept that I have it or not. Yeah been feeling stuck sometimes.

my mother shows so many signs of autism as my father shows signs of ADHD yet neither of them have properly been evaluated unlike me! Haha! But what is normal anyway? Neurodivergency has taught me how to enjoy the world how I like to see it.. neurotypical people could never see the world like I can and I take great pride in that

Thank you for that! It does help to have a different perspective on neurdivergency. I guess I'll try to think of it that way. 👍
