I can look people in the eye if I have to.
I've got no idea what most facial expressions mean though.
Obviously the big hitters like laughing and crying etc
Coming to think of it, I've usually got no idea about what people think of me either
I'm in my 40's, how's an official diagnosis going to help?
I was 30 when I got my ADHD diagnosis. My wife was same, and last year at 50 she got her AuDHD upgrade diagnosis.
It helps. First to understand WHY things are how they are, second to learn to draw not only from the ADHD coping handbook, but the autism coping handbook.
Is it lifechanging? Only in a small way, probably.
