To Tell or Not To Tell

Gabriella

I am a late-self-identified auDHDer who has come to terms with herself and her traits.

Taking several online assessments recently has helped clarify my past behavior and given me a sense of relief and hope for the future.

However, I am hesitant to start discussing my “journey of discovery” with friends and family. 

just wondering if other folks here have gone through similar dilemmas.

  • I didn't tell my Mum until after my dad had died, because he would of gone on some kind of massive guilt trip and would of thought he had to make me better. My Mums fine with it, and I don't shy away from sharing my diagnosis with anyone, I'm completely out and open about it and I don't see anything to be ashamed about, if others can't handle it then its their problem and if they try and make it miine then I deal with it and them.
