@cthulku @fcktheworld587 Yeah, I'm in that category too: I strongly empathize with autistic people's descriptions of information/sensory overload & coping mechanisms around it, but I think the cognitive processing issues that lead to that response in me are different. I certainly don't have classic autistic traits like being good with lists of facts & bad with symbols/metaphors.
Fedi ND talk has definitely convinced me that at least some of my issues can probably be classified as ADHD, though.
