Thought I'd get the ball rolling as this is empty!

I'm neamhsplach, I'm undiagnosed but I'm being screened for possible ADHD and/or dyspraxia because of some issues I've had with work.

I love Taskmaster and never miss an episode of The Blindboy Podcast. Looking forward to chatting to you all!

I felt that way for a long time too but I struggled with the opposite with people not believing I could possibly be autistic. It was a relief to finally get a diagnosis :) I don't think you'll be wasting anyone's time if you ask for an assessment. In fact you'll be saying yourself, your partner, friends and family, a lot of pain and time.
