So much of it rings true for me, too, and you describe it beautifully. A few weeks ago (while starting screening for my child) I realized that I am on the autism spectrum, and might also have ADHD. What revelations these are, coming at this age in our lives! Honestly, it just feels good to know. Congratulations on making this discovery, and thank you for sharing it with us. I hope that it provides a new lens for a more complete understanding of yourself. <3
Each of us have gifts! You certainly do Sara! You are amazing! Learning about parts of our beings is helpful and can be jolting. Understanding brings a calm and acceptance. But you are lovable, and a unique you! You’re perfect, just as you are! Hugs. ❤️
Sara! Thank for sharing your ADHD journey! I was diagnosed at 58 years old. I cried when I found the courage to ask the question of my doctor (who finally listened) and had major flash backs to my life thinking of all the times I thought I was stupid because I could not focus or remember or being forgetful or not listening, my mind wondering when talking with someone. My life changed for the better the day and life seemed to finally make sense. Welcome to the cool group! Finally it feels good to understand and belong! Enjoy the ride!

Phew! You are so brave Jacquie! Totally agree with you about that moment of change and clarity — pretty amazing. <3
