INFJ or Autistic? Why So Many INFJs Suspect They’re Autistic (And Why It Makes Sense)

If you’ve ever thought, “Wait… am I INFJ, or am I autistic? Or both??” — you're not the only one. In this video, I unpack why so many INFJs resonate deeply with traits commonly associated with autism—like sensory sensitivity, social exhaustion, and feeling like an alien on the wrong planet.

But I also talk about what’s actually different between the two… especially for women and AFAB folks who’ve learned to mask. This isn’t about slapping on a label—it’s about understanding yourself, your inner world, and your beautifully sensitive brain.

💬 Leave a comment if this resonated. Or drop a 🌙 if you’ve been down this same rabbit hole.

You’re not too much. You’re not broken. You’re just built differently—and that’s not wrong. It’s rare.
