adhd or autism burnout?

personal story

hello all (this will be a rant),

To start things off i was never diagnosed officially by a doctor with autism but a few unofficial screenings say yes. What i was officially diagnosed with was inattentive add and ocd tendencies tagged with it. I never had problems with friends until highschool when i hopped on adhd meds. i went from having friends to being annoying and weird. I struggled until i senior year which i learned to socialize a good bit adapted a better appearance and had loads of success with friends and women. Within the last year or two years i have noticed a shift in the way im treated by the general public. As i have started to become aware (what i believe) are autistic traits im noticing things i didnt before. I notice i interject myself when in group settings because people dont seem to want to talk to me. I notice people ask me if something’s wrong with me when i didnt even do anything (just standing there). I feel as if the more honest i am with my surroundings and the way people treat me I loose the success i had at social skills before. I also do not look the exact same because i bulked in the gym recently and haven’t cut weight yet. I believe i am spiraling or loosing my mind you could say because all i want to do is work and go home these days. Also the more i research on ND behaviors the more i pay attention to peoples body language, the way they shift when im talking to them etc. Its like im in my own prison of hyper analyzing the way people actually think of me. what do you guys think.
