Can you be autistic but have good social cues?
Title. I’m meeting up with a psychiatrist in a few weeks, and my former therapist suggested I may have ADHD (high possibility there) and/or Autism. I’m just not so sure I do have autism because while I have some of the other symptoms, I don’t know if that’s due to another condition or if it’s a normal person thing to do and I’m overthinking it. For example, I’ve already been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, so maybe it’s those? Maybe the title isn’t the best way to phrase it, but I can tell when people are lying or annoyed or such by the way they’re acting and their body language, which by most autism checklists, for lack of a better term, would mean that I am not. I’m also not straightforward. In some cases, I am, if I’m not really thinking before I speak, but I know what things to not do or say most of the times, and keep things to myself/drop hints if I want something but I feel bad for it. If any of you could tell me about your experiences, I’d really appreciate it!!
