I am trying to come to terms with this after finding out over a year ago. I'm a high functioning female I'm lucky because my workplace is supporting me with reasonable adjustments ie my workload, but this is making me feel worthless like I'm being carried my colleagues are great & don't feel this...I sometimes wish I didn't know, but then it's answered alot of questions from my childhood & adulthood. I am v close to my family but any mention of this hits silence...iv been assured by friends its maybe because they don't understand or know what to say. I understand this but I feel v isolated. I have joined this group in the hope that others understand...I have alot of traits for both ASD & ADHD.
Good on you and keep going! I was diagnosed last year aged 56. Feeling better about it all now. Some people don’t understand but as others have said it’s their problem. My boss has been very supportive so I’m lucky there. Take care and all the best. I still have difficulties but now I know why.
