Those recognising #autistim later in life, was there something that helped you realise?
I used to joke "I'm a bit autistic". My partner and I would note how I'm like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory, but I didn't take this seriously until..
First we broke up and I looked in depth at that relationship, how hard it was and why. That got me ready..
Then I watched #TheAccountant, it's a thriller but includes autistic characters inc the lead.
Boom! I saw my traits.

@doggle @actuallyautistic for me, Hanna Gadsby convinced me in princely autistic. Went and saw her live in Melbourne. There was a line in her show, Douglas, something like:
"Being autistic is like the whole world is drunk and you aren't, but you don't know they are all drunk."
Ooh, thank you Hanna, now my life makes sense.
@petherfile @actuallyautistic Thanks, I can relate to that too!
