I was 37 when I was diagnosed as autistic after self identifying the previous year. I also suspect I am ADHD as well but I’ve never sought a professional diagnosis for it. I always felt different, like an alien observing another culture even as a little kid. All my closest friends growing up were either autistic or ADHD.

AuDHD here, it goes in waves. Sometimes I’m really on top of it and other times keeping up with this feels like tyranny to my brain and I pay the ADHD tax.
