Still something I'm coming to terms with. It's definitely a journey. The frustrating part is that I keep asking why no one told me sooner. Feels a bit like having been gaslit for the most part of my life.
Makes things a bit easier, & also explains a lot about past interactions. #neurodivergent
@Dome_Woo Wow! Did you write this? Or did you reach into my brain and pull it out on the fleshy stone tablet from which my very existence sprouts? Except I've actually always known I was different -- from an early age everyone went to great lengths to make sure I knew that I was not normal. But it was only just this year (age 53) that I learned that neurodivergence is a thing, that it is behind my difference, and that it's not any more a sign of being "broken" as would being left-handed.
@etnom Yeah, wrote this myself. I'm slowly grasping how many people live with this. And how many have been undiagnosed until later in life. I'm 41 now.
