This link is blocked where I am but I've just found it on demand - thanks! Going to watch and really hoping it's something I could share with my family. I still need to tell my dad and am looking for something accessible which will explain things and avoid the myths. Just read a review of this and am hopeful!

@Cassandra
Ha! Rhat last bit made me smile. I am experiencing similar.

@JustGrist
Yes, exactly. I have that problem with foods as well, and I constantly feel insecure as I don't know how long I will like something. With interests, I can find it really hard to even identify with the version of me from shortly before, who loved xyz. I like that I'm not stuck on one thing, but I'd like to have more control!

@Anlasair
Woah. I'm so sorry you face that sort of dismissal/rudeness/ignorance.

@JustGrist
Yes formal diagnosis isn't a simple issue, so I don't think there's a 'right for everyone' answer. I wanted it to help me better advocate for myself at work, but I know that it can be used against us, also.
It's horrendous that those who need one face so many barriers. Are there any countries getting this right? I haven't read about any yet :(

@Anlasair
There's definitely something about pressing 'send' which makes the errors jump out of hiding. Drives me up the wall! I've had it with two work emails today. Suspect ADHD for myself too. Quite the combo!

@ephant
It was indeed! 🌈 ♾️ 🏆

@looneybyron
Yes it's really hard (and perhaps pointless, I'm not sure) trying to work out if earlier diagnosis would have been beneficial. I was little in the 80s/90s too, and also highly verbal .

@Aniket
I haven't heard of the idea of an 'own voices' book but it makes intuitive sense.
What a read that must have been for you!
