In April 2021 I got diagnosed as autistic and it really was a surprise to me, however, it has really helped me to make sense of myself more and helps to make sense of many of my reactions, feeling and things that have happened in the past.
A few months after I got an ADHD diagnosis and that has also helped me to make more sense of myself and understand the ways I act and react. These diagnoses have been hugely validating and so helpful for me, I get frustrated I am only learning this information at 32 but I’m also grateful to finally know so I can start to do things in more effective ways for myself. Below are posts that relate in some way to my experiences with this new information.
