DoomsdaysCWSo, tbh, I would not change anything about having #Autism and #ADHD. Sure, if I had been diagnosed properly and had more support, some aspects of my life would have been easier. But I have no regrets on having a semi-eidetic memory, being able to recognize patterns, thinking outside the box, etc. What I could have used less of? Being bullied, not knowing there were others like me out there (and the subsequent isolation), over-masking and paying the price, having meltdowns from not understanding sensory overstimulation, etc. But it's never too late to delve into self-understanding and awareness, and, most importantly, building community with like-others!

Damn right! I think we have so many unique gifts and insights to give to the world and that can lead to so much joy and happiness for us. It is just, that, for most of us anyway, lack of awareness and accommodation can lead to so much damage, until we finally find our own.
