  • Welcome! I was 40 when I was formally diagnosed with ASD and ADHD.

    The ADHD diagnosis was a godsend, as I was finally able to put a label on why I couldn’t sit through hours-long meetings without completely rearranging my office, or feeling like a complete failure because I couldn’t understand or learn a new programming language.

    The AU diagnosis, while completely expected, hit harder because it was not only validating, but also hardened the fact that I truly do have difficulty with social and executive functions.

    I’m glad communities like this exist where other neurodivergent individuals can feel represented and validated.
