I have been recently diagnosed with autism, and have been told to be re-referred for an ADHD assessment.
I'm not sure what I am supposed to do with this info.
Has it clarified things? No
Does it make me happier knowing? No. The opposite in fact.
Does it answer any questions? No. It just creates more!
The main problem i have now is maintaining some connection to my ex-wife. She calls me out on so many things I do while telling me that autism is not an excuse for my behaviour. I want to tell her it is not an excuse but it is a cause. Autism creates situations in which I behave in the wrong way. She sees my behaviour as bad, while I see it as different.
I would type more, but I am getting so frustrated with the tiny text on the screen! I can hardly read what I am typing!
