People who've been to a (regular) party, what do people do there? (lemmy.sdf.org)

By "party", I mean a physical social gathering of people for the purposes of having fun. It may be used in a sentence as "I am throwing a party!" or "Let's party!".
Basically what I am trying to say is the default "party".

I've never been to any, and I have no idea how people spend their time on parties, so I am curious how you did.

I'm ADHD, never investigated but scoring high on ASD assessments. It can be fun, with the right people. It wholly depends on who's there. I'm usually with the people sitting outside, having fun conversations over a beer and/or a joint. It's just the genetic term for "gathering where there's food and substances". You'll find that you can often meet other NDs overwhelmed by the amount of people and music waiting for you over there. Chill times.

Reading comprehension seems difficult, so I'll go over it again, quoted verbatim from my previous comment:

ADHD, never investigated but scoring high on ASD assessments

Here's what you can deduce from this sentence:

I'm ADHD
I scored high on ASD assessment tests
Never got diagnosed for it (it being ASD)

Here's what you can't deduce from this sentence:

"random online tests": the self-assessment tests I made were provided by both my family doc and official governmental health resources
that I don't have something because I don't currently have an official diagnosis: do you think people with cancer don't have cancer until a doctor says so? I spoke with professionals, but I'd need an adult assessment. Neuropsychiatric resources are already scarce for children as is it, getting an appointment for an adult over here is a rather difficult and time consuming process, for, in my case, discutable benefits

Why do you do this?

My least favorite thing in the entire universe is having to take time to explicitly spell out what I’m not saying.

I fucking hate that people can’t stop reading extra shit I didn’t write.
