  • I was diagnosed with ADHD at 47 and I’m probably autistic but it’s not worth pursuing it formally. The difference has been massive and it took a year just coming to terms with the realisation. I went through a lot as a kid and I’m trying to untangle the web of masking behaviour. In general it’s been great but there were depressive periods where I felt like I was losing my identity. I have devoted a lifetime pretending to be someone else. I don’t have to do that any more but old habits die hard. I feel happy, life is easier when we accept who we are.
