Hi everyone

Hi everyone ive recently just been diagnosed with AuDHD at the age of 36. Ive struggled all my life and been very impulsive lonely and isolated and always felt like i didn't fit in or belong anywhere and i was always looking for validation and people pleasing.  Im a father of two children aswell

  • Hello.

    I hope your diagnosis has helped.

    I just put up with struggling not realising there might be a reason. I was told I didn't need anyone, possibly due to double empathy problem, so have spent 30 years alone as it seemed easier, before finding out

    I think wanting validation, support, reassurance, with a temptation to people please and fit in, makes you vulnerable to manipulation and burnout.

    Good luck on your path forward.
