Our priest did once say that I'm, and I quote, a "savant of pop culture" because I mentioned a Garfield comic strip at a brunch.

You talk to your priest? There’s two priests of mine, a young fun one, and an old one who repeats his long, irrelevant homilies.

Not since 2009, no.
I was told that I was diagnosed with autism/Asperger's when I was 4, but obviously I was too young to remember that. I only remember being told about it when I was reaching my senior year of high school.
I guess the giveaways to my condition were me transferring schools when I was 9 due to not fitting in with my old Catholic school, and in that new school, I was placed in the Intermediate grades, a smaller section comprised of Grade 4-6 students. It was a nice experience.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that there are two threads asking this question and that I have already answered it in the other one
. Yes, two is a confusing amount of threads about the same topic (in the same subforum, three if you count OTC). Confusing to me, at least.
In case you didn't click the link, the tl;dr is that I went through the early stages of the diagnosis process and I'm officially not autistic. Which means that whatever else I have going on looks similar enough - to autism or to people's idea of autism - that I was sent there in the first place.
In addition to that, I have been on-and-off diagnosed with AD(H)D, but it is almost impossible to discern what is a symptom of a neurodivergence that I might or might not have vs. what comes with the mental illness that I definitely have.
"He betrayed the Staaarks" is not the only problem here.
Can I ask what your life experiences are like?
I know someone who was misdiagnosed with autism and eventually realized she didn't have it. She has ADHD, and she started realizing more and more that she couldn't relate to autistic people's life experiences and that she mistook some symptoms of ADHD (including early social struggles before she stopped having social struggles) as autism.

I wasn’t diagnosed with autism until I was 11. I was diagnosed with ADHD first when I was still little.

I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was very young, to the point that I don't remember the diagnosis. But I definitely do have it since loud noises bother me and I hyperfixate on the most random shit.

I was diagnosed with Autism when I was two.
Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying, and dying to me don't sound like all that much fun!

Sometimes I wonder how I managed to not get diagnosed so early.

I’m very smart, but I don’t have that autism either. I wish.
