I wonder how different our experiences of ND are to those who were diagnosed young and have grown up knowing they're ND?
I don't just mean the problems we've had and the negative stuff, but how we are in the world, how we look at our pasts through the ND lens we now have, do things make more sense?
How much has a diagnosis made a difference to how you live, has it given you permission to do/be how you want rather than how society expects us to be?
What lessons from your past as an undiagnosed apparently NT person have you brought forward with you that still hold value to you?
For myself, a lot more things make sense now I'm diagnosed and I do feel less pressure to be how others wish me to be, rather than how I want be. I feel there's a lot of stuff in my past that has shaped me and that I've brought with me as a ND person, I'm no way do I feel that a line has been drawn under the past and the now, ND is just another string to my bow,
