Self Diagnostics

So this morning I went to teacher training to learn about how to deal with children with autism and anxiety issues.

Side note: teacher training, I know right? I have to write reports and feedback and everything now. Suddenly feeling a lot less like a normal person playing teacher, and more like a ... you know, teacher thing.

Anyway, so I was listening to this guy talk about how people with autism think and how anxiety can effect people, and now I keep seeing these tendencies not only in myself and my own behaviour, but literally everyone around me. A person with autism will walk into a room and not be able to grasp straight away whats going on. I walk into a room and sit right in front of what turns out to be the projector, despite noticing that everyone is sitting along the one side of the room facing at me. A person with anxiety issues will let issues from hours, days, months and years ago continue to fester in their minds rather than resolve them.

Sound familiar?

Of course, the projector thing could also be explained by me just being outrageously unobservant, and that's nothing new.

I'm less surprised by the anxiety self diagnosis.
