    TFW you meet an online pal/colleague IRL and you immediately think "#ADHD."

    And before you can figure out how to ask diplomatically, they turn to you and say, "You're #neurodivergent, right?" and it's not really a question.

    Then two hours fly by and it feels like 45 minutes. πŸŽ‰

      @StaceyCornelius
      That level of connection is awesome when it happens, especially for those of us who find it so rarely.

        @murdoc Right? Effortless conversation, multiple side quests, circling back to previous topics, and it's all so energizing.

            @StaceyCornelius that's lovely!

            I saw my long-time physiotherapist on Monday and wondered if she'd ever realize she's autistic (or believe someone when she's told). Because she doesn't mask at all but still doesn't know. She's older GenX

                @giflian I had a conversation with a health care worker just yesterday and while we were discussing ND brains, she happened to mention a few of her habits and said she'd wondered a few times if she was neurodivergent.

                So I mentioned how parents often make the discovery after a kiddo gets assessed and asked if there was anyone in her family...

                Her grown daughter is pretty sure she's autistic.

                "Dude!" I said, and we both burst out laughing.
