People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Have you been screened for diagnosis? Because if not, there's not a great way to tell you aren't autistic. Autism occurs in even the most functional people and masking is a skill many autistic people develop to fit in without realizing they are doing it.
I don't see a reason to go for a screening without evidence to indicate I might be autistic. It may cost money to get screened, and what's the point in getting a diagnosis even if I am autistic?
Your insurance might double in price, and some people/companies/countries might do profiling. Meaning that you will be limited if you ever want to relocate in the future.
If you love your life too much you could give it a shot.
