I was diagnosed pretty late for all of it, especially considering how transparently obvious the adhd and autism was. My parents asked all of my teachers if I had ADHD, every year, all of them thought that I didn’t. I only ended up getting diagnosed at 11 or 12. The autism, I kind of figured out by myself, I got on a waitlist for testing at 15, a year later I got the diagnosis. This is all especially strange, considering that I’m a white American male. It is pretty good that I was able to be diagnosed, instead of the psychologist just deciding that I’m bipolar or neurotypical, as many in marginalized communities are.
Fair enough. God, if I was neurotypical AND straight, I’d just end it right there, what’s there to live for at that point? The Super Bowl? Coldplay? Being creepy to 19 year old girls? Ughhh.
Fortunately, I’ve also got autism… That’s fortunate, right?
I’ve got diagnoses for depression, autism, and adhd. Probably some other shit. I hate my life sometimes, best of luck.
At least you live in place where people get diagnosed for this shit

It could be worse. You could be neurotypical. 🤢🤷🏼♂️

19? Statistically speaking, that’s generous. 🥲
Three wolves now you just need a moon.
