I’m new to the group and feeling relieved to find a space where I feel I can ask some difficult questions.
I was diagnosed with adhd 4 years ago and it is looking likely that I will get an autism diagnosis soon too.
It’s a crazy thing to take on and accept as a 42 year old woman (? that sounds so silly. I’ve always felt like a “girl” not a woman) but there is also relief and understanding of so many things I have found difficult in life to actually have reason behind them.
I look forward to talking to you all
