Late potential diagnosis, took another 10 years (and 2 diagnosed kids) to actually get myself properly checked.

I wish I had had more resources back when I was growing up because a lot of the challenges were related to things that I now know were not just me “being weird”.

Finally found a partner that tries to understand, is learning about what it all means, and is actually curious about the differences, especially when it comes to how we see, process, and experience things. So life is looking up, honestly.

But I know I have nothing to complain about because I have a good life and my kids are getting a lot more support and understanding and hopefully they will have a much happier life experience.

How about you? What is your experience like?
