When did l realize

Hi Blush  l am new to the group 

I am waiting a diagnose for HDHD .

When l first realized l was a little different in my grandchild who has Autism and awaiting ADHD diagnose. 

I saw the connection and was left speechless.

I never fitting in at school l got overwhelmed very quickly had trouble sitting still, bored , and had trouble with organization. This had left me very anxious and depressed.

Unfortunately back in my days you girls weren't given the help that they needed and we're treated harshly with punishment,so l had always thought that l was just a naughty girl. 

I had to suppress all my mixed up emotions that had just made me feel worse and rejected by society.

I have struggled with everyday life it's very had not to be like others l couldn't work because there wasn't a place for me,so l have spent my whole life reading books that has made me supper smart but l still feel l need to hide away. I am a very intelligent woman and very confident l live with my wonderful husband that's always inspired me to be a better person today and all days. I cope with my children, autistic grandchild, we're are very happy, l just wish l had a job though.

    I'm glad that despite all the difficulties you've faced in life, you've still managed to get to a good point in life with a lovely family. The world of work can be very hard for autistic folk, especially when we don't always know ourselves! I hope you can use your new understanding of yourself to maybe find something that suits you at some point!
