Level 1 autism + adhd (audhd)

Saleh

Hi, i’m an adult now and finally being able to understand myself a bit a better i feel like i’ve found some of the answers, i am awaiting adhd diagnosis but i believe i may also have autism, i come from a background where neurodivergence wasn’t understood but rather labelled as bad egg. I wanted to see what type of 1 on 1 help i can get and who i can contact that understands the topic well as taking the first step always feels the hardest, i just want clarification or more understanding before i start the whole process, maybe even someone to talk to unpack all the stuff i’ve experienced and see how if it fits, basically i just want confirmation i’m not going mad. Currently ongoing cbt but i’m finding it really difficult same with the gp appointment i had to get it, found both really difficult to speak to as it felt less of them trying to understand me and more like they’re judging me.

  • yeah i was the same im more between 2 and 3 myself i struggle alot with eye contact, communication, spcial settings, and UV A, B and sometimes C, i always feel judged too, but i wear a sunflower lanyard to let neurotypicals be aware of my dual diagnosis for adhd and autism, i will also at some point need to get checked for OCD and bipolar also as my life is a chaotic mess to live with. my family accept but still misunderstand and i still get shouted at if i did something wrong? i mean i cant even understand myself or know where i are most of the time, i hope this helps.
