yes! i had some ocd symptoms as a kid that are barely perceviable now. i scored in the 50s in the test.

i'm trying to figure this out because i relate to the experience, but i also understand there are common symptoms shared by these conditions, and they are sometimes comorbid. i feel closer to adhd but who knows.

I hate eye contact, and yes authenticity ranks pretty high up to me.i crave deeper relationships beyond the stupid thank you and good morning pleasantries.

my special interests come and go. i have bouts when i have no interest and it will feel like life is empty, only for me to suddently find something im obssessed with and it will be the only thing i want to do for a long while. it does bother me when i'm confronted with doing it "wrong".

i feel like i cant look through people that easily unless they are hiding behind common courtesy and norms? i dunno if i made myself clear on this one.

oh and i have no sensory issues although i'm more practical in the sense of prioritizing comfort over looks? like i notice utensils but it doesnt bother me.

i appreciate the writeup, even if it isnt helping me make sense of it that much.

is there stuff that can be done if i turn out to be autistic? there is no cure afaik right?
