I’m a 23yo female, always feel misunderstood. I’m diagnosed with ADHD and had my Autism assessment A through Health Harmonie minds today. He was asking questions such as “do you understand when people nod and shake their head?”

Of course I do. But I don’t understand a lot of other jokes, gestures, sarcasm day to day. I’m 23yo, highly masking whether I’m just adhd or autistic to. I’m so so sure im autistic, I know it. I shut down when I’m feeling overwhelmed and that for sure happened today. I feel like it went terribly.

I’m so unbelievebly overwhelmed and so scared I won’t be able to communicate all of this sufficiently to have the correct outcome.
