I hope this is not too presumtuous, but I can see how autism can go diagnosed for attractive and intelligent people. I get the feeling that people are far more accepting of those that are born with desirable traits, and are less likely to question if they have a disorder or disabillity. The problem is that these people while being accepted broadly i.e. having a friendship group, being generally liked by strangers, they often find themselves feeling like pariahs or having non-stop akward interactions; It's miserable and tiring! I'm 33 and am getting tested for adhd, but I think I may also need screening for autism spectrum. Ellie's experience really resonates with me, and I'm 100% going on linkedIn now to follow! Thanks for the vid, Talk Twenties and Ellie!

100%, I'm both, and have only figured this out at 30.

I always thought this throughout my life. It always made me feel ashamed because I had observed the way people treated less attractive people for absolutely no reason, yet would allow my many flaws to pass because I was physically attractive. For a man who always wanted to go unnoticed in the world the extra attention already made me extremely uncomfortable. I got stuck in some long and unhappy relationships where I could see that the other person had such different values to me and would openly criticise me regularly, but I was always too confused to make the decision to end the relationship.😅 I’m glad someone else said it because I have felt this many times throughout my life but couldn’t really articulate it to anyone. People can’t help but create a false image of you based on your level of perceived attractiveness and presentation.
