*Edit: I checked some of the stuff more out in detail. While some concepts on this are valid and backed up by sience, others like RSD are not. Use this as a springboard for learning, not as a valid source in itself. Yes it says so in the corner already. But spelling it out might help.

People are more complicated then a diagram from the internet. Never forget that.

I was diagnosed autistic last year at age 52. I've also usually been the socially awkward brains of whatever group I'm in.

Seems pretty accurate to me. Autistic + gifted.
