I don’t think I was ND…

Trying to phrase this appropriately

I’m on the tube home and I can see a girl stimming. I offered her my headphones (no sound) and she said ‘thank you, I can’t focus without quiet’

I’ve never considered myself ND but it’s given me a bit of a moment. I can’t take public transport without them to block out noise.

I have a lot of the stereotypes - I’m obsessed with facts, mostly to do with trains and roads and infrastructure. I know it sounds a bit mad but I hate being over stimulated and I immediately got that girl. Do I need to look into this? Is it ok at 35 just to be a bit odd?

Is it negatively impacting your life, or have you overcome your quirks with tools? In which case you dont need and probably wouldn't get a diagnosis.

If you feel you are being held back and are curious then look into it but there is very little help available out there
