So, I'm officially AuDHD
Hi everyone,
I’ve been a long-time lurker here, but today I’m finally stepping out of the shadows because I have some news to share.
Last week, I received my official diagnoses:
I am AuDHD.
About a year ago, I started reading your stories. Before that, I had a very limited idea of what Autism and ADHD looked like in women. But seeing your posts, your struggles, and your "weird" quirks that matched mine exactly... it was the first time in my life I truly felt seen.
You guys taught me what empathy actually looks like for us and showed me that I’m not broken—I’m just wired differently.
Because of the validation I found in this community, I finally worked up the courage to sign up for an assessment last September. Now, having the official papers in my hand, it feels like so much internal healing has already begun. I understand my past self so much better now.
I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU.
Thank you for sharing your lives and for showing me that I’m not alone. My journey is really just beginning, but for the first time, I feel like I'm headed in the right direction.
Sending love to all my fellow late-diagnosed sisters!
