I don’t wish an autism or a adhd diagnosis late in life. Honestl i’m not sure a late diagnosis helps at all.
@an0key for me, even before getting on some meds, knowing I have ADHD doesn’t necessarily make it easier but it does mean that I know what’s going on, which in turn means I’m gentler on myself when it causes problems. I spent most of my life being furious at myself that I couldn’t get my shit together, turns out there’s a reason for that.
