Very happy. Got my diagnosis today. At the age of 52, finally. My only regret is that it wasn't picked up when I was at school. I may have left with some qualifications if it had been.
Hi Lellynelly,
I've been taking a break from the forums - but I just happened to take a look tonight and see this. Congratulations! I know that feeling!
I feel the same about school. I, too, left without qualifications after a pretty miserable 11 years. I made up for it to some extent later with night classes, then uni at 28. But I still feel hugely uneducated. I trust it hasn't held you back in any way work-wise.
I try not to think about the past. Anything could have happened. I may have got my qualifications, then moved off along a particular career path and still have ended up feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. I accept myself, and my condition, now. I'm actually glad I'm a little 'different'. I march to another drummer.
Congratulations again. Onwards and upwards!
Tom
