Would you just go with it if people kept thinking you were neurodivergent?

I have major social anxiety, procrastinate to a disgusting degree, and find it hard to clean up after myself. People keep thinking I have ADHD and/or autism when I'm actually just a weird neurotypical (I can relate to visible/external ND features but not to how their brains work). If you were/are in my shoes, would you correct people or just let them think you're ND?

I know this is a random question but just play along or ignore it :>

I would correct them. Not only because it would create false expectations and the person maybe would try adapting to the supposed neurodivergency in a way that isn't fair to you, but also because it could create false expectations for the person how that ND may look like. If someone would think I'm autistic and would base their behavior around auti...... 1 reply

i’m actually neurodivergent and diagnosed with a shit ton of stuff. Personally it really depends on if you want to or not. I feel like it’s no one’s business besides yours.

I dont know if I'm neurodivergent or not, and my mother has told me she thinks I might be autistic. Why should I correct people if I'm not even sure myself? Its not such a bad thing to be, so I dont care if I am or not, or if others think I am 1 reply
