Hi, I live in the North East. I was diagnosed as Autistic 2 years ago then a week later with ADHD. The support for adults in this region is non existent so I’ve been feeling pretty isolated and have really struggled with my mental health over the last year in particular.
I just want to learn about how my brain works and how to be myself without the mask I’ve created to survive this world so far! I need to learn how to live in a way that doesn’t cost me my mental well being and self esteem.
Is there anyone else in here with a co morbid diagnosis?
Any advice on working out how to be yourself for the first time in your entire life and being ok with it?
There doesn’t seem to be anything that they offer to my are, it’s all further north or accessible if you get ‘access to work’ (which I’m still waiting for a call back for, the waiting list is awful).
Thanks anyway
