Mid 50s northener, late diagnosed *Jazz hands*

Got my diagnosis aged 52. Struggling with most things, including typing this. Feeling adrift after diagnosis, despite meeting people in similar circumstances in my area. I've invested in a number of books on the subject of autism/neurodivergence, the usual histories of-, coping mechanisms and such. I suspect I have ADHD, so reading through them feels a chore. Most days I feel like I'd rather eat them than read them. Hello!

  • Welcome.

    I am a southerner (and I was interested in you describing yourself as a 'northerner').

    I don't believe I have ADHD but nevertheless my concentration is much poorer than it used to be, so I have never finished one of this type of book (or any factual book for a long time).
