I'm diagnosed as autistic/Asperger's/NVLD. I'm in that middle ground where most people assume I'm "normal" and I can pass for neurotypical pretty decently depending on the context, but I'm definitely too autistic to independently take care of myself, and it makes me functionally a "little" in the way I experience the world.
I have a feeling that a lot of autistic people might identify with the "little" persona/dynamic, and I bet the autism occurrence rate is higher in littles than the average population. I bet we have a lot of undiagnosed autistics here, in the middle ground like me, since so much of autistic goes well with little stuff (obsessive interests, emotional developmental delay, sensory-oriented stuff, etc.)
Anyone out there who identifies with the autism criteria, or with an actual diagnosis like me? Just curious C:
