If you are NT

Do you instantly recognise a ND person?

Sort of related to a thread on here currently, I find it quite fascinating.
I suspect I’m probably ND and wonder if NT people recognise an ND person pretty much immediately? If so, how, what do you see?

I assumed I was NT but have a lot of ND family members. I would say I’m quick to spot ND in others and am starting to wonder if I am ND.

I couldn’t describe to you what I see in others. It’s possible I hang around when others have lost patience and so see ‘more’ than people who would lose interest and walk away.

Only if they announce it up front. Which isn’t that rare.

It’s a really broad spectrum even for autism. Would you recognise someone as ND?

People may think the recognise ND people but unless they know everyone medical background (incl people who haven’t been diagnosed) how would they know if they were right?

ND includes a whole host of conditions including autism, adhd, dyslexia and DCD.

I’m mainly referring to Autism and Adhd
