Welcome! I was 40 when I was formally diagnosed with ASD and ADHD.
The ADHD diagnosis was a godsend, as I was finally able to put a label on why I couldn’t sit through hours-long meetings without completely rearranging my office, or feeling like a complete failure because I couldn’t understand or learn a new programming language.
The AU diagnosis, while completely expected, hit harder because it was not only validating, but also hardened the fact that I truly do have difficulty with social and executive functions.
I’m glad communities like this exist where other neurodivergent individuals can feel represented and validated.
THANK YOU! MY WIFE LIKES TO BUY ME NICE SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER BARS FROM LUSH. I USE THOSE MFERS ONCE A WEEK TO KEEP MY HAIR HEALTHY AND SMELLING NICE.
