Identity Crisis

[Helikaon]

Fuck man, big hugs. Didn't have anything nearly as severe as that; but I had an ASD diagnosis just before I turned 30. Had been misdiagnosed as depression and anxiety, and just a sense of "how did everyone fucking miss this? If I'd known about this beforehand so much misery could maybe have been avoided." It wasn't even my GP, I had to ask him repeatedly to send me to a specialist because there was something deeper rooted than the initial diagnosis.

Look after yourself, take it as slowly and gently as you can.

Thank you. I am very much taking things as slowly and with as much compassion as I am capable of! I'm being assessed for AuADHD soon (the wheels of the NHS turn slowly...)

"how did everyone fucking miss this? If I'd known about this beforehand so much misery could maybe have been avoided."

Yep. I just want to understand and trust myself.
