Yeah, I'm starting to wonder if autistic and ADHD (at least as far as the meme pages go) are just being used as code words for "extra introverted".

No. There's reason to avoid people. They don't understand, don't listen and demand anything when it's none of their gorram business.

There is reason to be introverted. You clearly don't understand so maybe stop running your mouth.

I guess what I mean to say is that I, who am neither autistic nor ADHD, really relate to these memes.

That's the feeling. Not the source.
