Watching Garrett I can’t help but see a bit of myself. Some of his behaviors and ways of thinking are strikingly similar to those of myself in childhood. Those similarities begged for closer inspection.
So I dug into psychology textbooks and mental illness medical journals. I read posts on Quora and found blogs dedicated to adult women searching for answers.
I took my suspicions with me on my latest psychologist appointment. He confirmed what I had already discovered for myself. I’m on the spectrum. There’s a reason certain things are so hard for me.
