      Same. I have some autistic and ADHD qualities but I manage and getting a diagnosis doesn’t seem like it would change my life in any way. So maybe I am and maybe I’m not. Who cares?

        Meds have curbed lots of my ADHD life issues, I feel that post diagnosis and taking kiddie speed most days has made a massive improvement to my quality of life.

        Having motivation to complete some basic life admin tasks or take on and complete projects has been such a massive improvement for me.

        Understanding that getting a diagnosis in Australia took me over a year, and the process was costly. I’m sure in other areas of the globe it’s a similar process, and it felt to me like it’s not streamlined for someone with such a disability but for me the outcome is well worth the battle.

        Looking back to who I was then and now, meds have opened so many doors and opportunities for me.
