7 ways to check if we are an introvert or an adult autistic!!!

Quiet. Don't like socializing.

Maybe it's just an introvert... or more? 🤍

This post is for preliminary observation, not a medical diagnosis.

✅ 7 points, notice the difference.

1️⃣ Tired of socializing.

Introvert: Tired, but understands the social situation well.

Autism: May confuse social signs

2️⃣ Eye contact.

Introvert: May be embarrassed, but can.

Autism: Often avoid obvious eye contact.

3️⃣ reading other people's emotions.

Introvert: Understand Other People's Feelings

Autism: may be difficult to interpret facial expressions / intonations.

4️⃣ liking activities alone

Introvert: Like to be alone to charge power.

Autism: May not understand social relationships.

5️⃣. Resilience.

Introvert: Adaptive by Situation

Autism: May stick to the routine. Difficult to change.

6️⃣ Specialized interests

Introvert: Have a hobby.

Autism: Interested in a particular subject, deep and very unusual.

7️⃣ Communications

Introvert: To say the least, but to understand the context.

Autism: May interpret speech very exactly.

Introvert = personality

Autism = neurodevelopmental condition

If in doubt, consult a psychiatrist or psychologist for a proper assessment. 🤍

I am a LGBTQIA+, Chronically-ill, Autistic teacher
And I struggle. I am a human being. Sure, I have good days and not-so-good days, where my pain flares up and I feel dysphoric and the sound of students makes me want to scream due to overstimulation. Sure I cry a lot in my free time, and sleep as soon as I get home, I forget to eat and drink. S

Hi Lemon8 besties! When I was growing up, I kind of stayed out of the way and would consider myself an ambivert. But as I got older and in my 20s, I came out of my shell and had a greater sense of self, so I became HIGHLY extroverted! 🗣️🙊 Call it growing up, but after life events, working re
