Female & late diagnosed AuDHD

Lady_J84

Hi everyone Wave tone1 

I was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD last month at the age of 40! Previously I have been diagnosed with OCD, anxiety and depression (of course!!!) when I was 19. 

I am still processing the dual diagnosis and trying to be more ‘me’ after a lifetime of masking but I’m finding I feel more autistic and ADHD than I ever have before. I’ve read this is fairly common and a normal response to a diagnosis so am not concerned but I would really like to meet people who are in a similar position to myself, who’s minds work in a similar way to mine.

Looking forward to getting to know some of you! Blush

    • Well actually my grandpa was always known as manic depressive because of his inability to cope. It was more likely to be autism I think. That's 4 generations. My family have always known I'm very different to my sister. I feel blessed to know I have a tribe. It's been lonely! Thanks for your message. Much appreciated!!
