what are the downsides of a diagnosis?
im pretty sure im autistic, or at least neurodivergent in some way. i think getting tested would give me some peace of mind and validation, but it’s not extreme to where i would need extra help. so i dont really need to be diagnosed if itll just make my life harder. i heard that if diagnosed, you have to take your driving test...

SUBSCRIPTIONS instead of RANDOM MAGAZINES?
Would you prefer the homescreen to feature a list of your subscriptions rather than the current random magazines box? I would.
Have you ever been accused of just having social anxiety?
A few months ago I was working on a project with someone. He had the habit of calling me all the time to talk about it, but I keep my phone permanently on DND and I would often miss his calls.

Is it difficult for you to complete a project?
Right now I have a project that's been unfinished for over a month. It was something I repaired that didn't work, but I got everything working and now I've lost interest in it. It's still there on my bench all torn apart. It all works, but I just can't bring myself to take that last little step to button it all up....
