Hello to my ASD

Hello - I guess I'm writing this assuming there are already 1000s of these so assuming I am wasting peoples time even bothering with this.

After five months of therapy I am coming to terms with my AUDHD. 

Having spent the first 50 years of my life convincing myself and others 'I don't like people' and mis-reading or not even noticing the signs in my body and mind.

Having people 'joke' that I was 'on the spectrum' and brushing it off. 

Over the last nearly half a year going through some of the lowest points, but working on understanding how I work and seeing the difference.

This feels a mess of a post, but hello.

  • Hi there,  Every new person's story matters here. I am also AuDHD, diagnosed last summer at 59. Diagnosis can lead to a real mix of emotions, not least for those of us diagnosed later in life with more lived experience to re-code once we find out. Take your time, be kind to yourself. There's lots of us to riff with on here. You are not alone.
