I might be gifted neurodivergent

I was looking up some stuff about autism as dramanauts tend to do.

I came across some data about how highly gifted autisms can often have slow processing speed and very high verbal memory and that's literally me. ( I have improved processing speed by training it )

I have verbal reasoning skills so high I did the https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/verbal-memory verbal memory test and my score came out higher than 100% after I got over my anxiety issues and improved my focus ability.

It might also explain why people and even I had such an extremely hard time putting myself in a box, because it would mean I am twice exceptional, I am both unique in the way gifted people are unique, and I am also unique in the way r-slurred people are unique, which takes me two standard deviations away from common humanity.

Any tips for someone like me who has just diagnosed themselves with being twice exceptional during adulthood?

What things can I do that would help me improve my quality of life and be able to better function with other people.

Thank you.

Jewish lives matter.

There's no such thing as higher than 100%. :marseywords:

People who went to school in Boston want you to know it because they're high status, not because they're smart.

People who went to Bostons schools have high status but aren't smart. Nothing :marseynothingburger: can be implied implicitly in the world. When companies hire from Boston :marseytf2scout: they hire for status never :marseyitsover: for intellectual :marseypeterson: competence of the students from that area.

I know the Boston :marseytf2scout: story.

If they say they went to Harvard :marseydoxingtruck: then they are obnoxious stuck ups who keep telling everyone :marseynorm: about being in Harvard.

If they say they went to Boston :marseytf2scout: they are trying to lure you into asking them where :marseydrama: exactly in Boston :marseytf2scout: after which they have to answer :marseyconfuseddead: Harvard.

There is no winning move.
