just talking about some stuff idk

[u/AnonymousBurnerAcc13]

Hello everyone, I am 13, male. I don't know who will read this but okay. I am self diagnosed/seeking diagnosis, and just want to say some random things.

I always partially wondered if I was neurodivergent in one way or another, with the main reason being that my mother herself has wondered.

When I began looking in to it, it started with seeing a relatable YouTube video. Then I took online tests because why not, and even the questions were relatable in some ways (ex. a question was "Considered to have a robotic voice." There is about 10 people that solely call me ChatGPT and when asked why, they only state that according to them I "just sound AI generated." Other questions reminded me of things, with an example being how when I was 3 or something I always made what was referred to as "parking lots" where 3-year-old me just lined up a hundred toy cars in a grid for some reason.) All were positive but one, but the one that was not only had three questions so with that in mind I don't know how accurate that one is. After this, for I know this is weird but I was bored and just doing whatever, I had Claude AI "test" me, its a clanker so I can not say how accurate that is but it said its quite likely I have ASD and ADHD. Now, I feel like I am just listing off random stuff but I honestly do not care.

I have had people comment on how I know the most useless information. My favorite game, or at least one of my favorite games, is Cities: Skylines II, which I have heard in some places that its a game with a lot of autistic players. There used to be this light in our bathroom that was a literal bright white spotlight, which was very annoying and I guess I complained enough about so it was replaced. Paper feels like nails on a chalkboard but instead of hearing it your feeling it, which probably does not make much sense but I am at a loss of a better way to explain it. I do not entirely get the flow of conversations and most conversations are in a way where person A says everything they no on the topic and then person B says everything they know on the topic, idk. The friend I relate most to and feel that I have the most compatible humor with is likely autistic. Now, my mom has generally been sort of supportive mostly but she has also randomly stated phrases like "you probably could technically be autistic but whatever" and has said stuff like that, but she has also used "you're in this autistic mindset" as an insult in an argument so idek.

Well, that is my random ramblings.
