Hello to my ASD

AdscendoDreamer

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.

  • Hey, please don’t worry - you’re not wasting anyone’s time at all.

    Fifty years of convincing yourself and others that you “don’t like people,” while missing all the signs - that’s a lot to carry. It must feel huge to finally start understanding your AuDHD after all this time.

    I’m really glad you’re here and taking these steps. You’re not late - you’re right where you need to be.

    Welcome.
