Glad you eventually discovered you were Autistic. It takes much too long for so many of us, and some never realise. 😔

I was hyperlexic too, starting to read at around 2 or 3, and didn’t have to put much effort into most school work. But I was always bad at history (!). Also, being aphantasic, I am in complete, uncomprehending awe of your ability to preview coloured versions of photos in your head! 😊

Hahaha don’t worry, it isn’t easy for me to understand either!

Thank you for sharing this with us. 🥰 You are truly amazing. And I'm not being patronising, here. Reading today's article has made me an even bigger fan!

And you can never have too many cat photos. Or guinea pigs... Got any guinea pigs?🤪

Wonderfully written, and thanks for sharing. I can relate - I'm also a late diagnosis, and I joke with my friends that it was SOOOO obvious that whole time (I mean, I can remember every phone and credit card number I've ever had but not peoples' names? Come on! ><)
