Thanks for your incredible honesty, Steve. I'm sure it will be of help to many. I share with you the ADHD and OCD, but not the autism. I find the two enough of a challenge! Pat yourself on the back that you have done so well with those three "disorders."
This makes a lot of sense to me. Especially how it helps you to stop beating yourself up and offers answers, though on the other hand you also worry about losing the diagnosis if you took the test again.
A lot of my favorite creators online are #actuallyautistic and they've helped me to feel better about certain traits of my own. But, for the time being, I'm just fixing to keep it vague where my own brain is concerned.
Bless you Steve! A friend of mine recently said the same thing to me. Don't think it's true (I predicted a suicide once on a few body clues) but who knows?
I'm 57, I was diagnosed officially at 54 after believing I was probably autistic for almost 10 years. Absolutely a game changer for my concept of myself. Feeling extremely empathetic right now!! I'm so happy you know. I'm so happy you are able to begin reframing your life experiences. I'm still working on it...
