Hello I’m new here :)

Hey just wanted to say hello, I was diagnosed in 2008 with Aspergers and 2013 with ADHD. Looking into ways of having better self care and support as I have possibly neglected myself over the years sInce diagnosis, due to possibly having feelings of doubt and denial. Doesn’t help when people say ‘but you don’t look autistic!’ I sure many can relate to this!

    Hello and welcome!

    Next time they say "but you don't look autistic", ask them what autistic looks like. I doubt you'll get an answer. People just don't think about anything, don't have an opinion based in anything, but just feel the need to say something!
