New diagnosed Audhd

KimmySunshine

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping that you lovely people might be able to help me out.

Today I had my ADHD diagnosis after being previously diagnosed with Autism last year.

Whilst it makes sense due to the issues I have had all my life I’m just not sure how to deal with it.

I’m only just coming to terms with the Autism diagnosis and now this.

I guess what I’m asking is, is anyone else in the same position or has been and if so is there any advice or signposting that could help?

many thanks in advance Heart️

  • I have been in similar position, first ADHD and then slowly realised after being on meds that this wasn't case closed and then had my ASD diagnosis. I took the mask fully off and let me tell you I found that people did not like it, whether it was strangers or those around me. It helps having one safe person who you can fully open up to, friend or family member. The best advice I can give whilst not knowing your lived experiences or circumstances is that you need to allow yourself the time to deal with this as it may take years to really figure this all out.
