Hi everyone this is my first comment here despite being here for a few days and trying to use it more, slowly weaning myself off Reddit (no idea if I'm gonna be able to do it long term). I was diagnosed with Asperger's as a teenager, but I was in denial for a very long time because I didn't like the psychologist diagnosing me. I don't like the term anymore because the doctor was a Nazi. Rather just saw ASD level 1. Recently I've been realising I have ADHD and I think that causes me more problems in my life than ASD. I can't afford to get diagnosed or medicated currently however :/

Early 40s, diagnosed with ADD at age 6. That was before DSM rolled ADD and a bunch of other outdated concepts into ADHD in the mid-nineties.
Hello. I'm late 30s and undiagnosed, since my country has a 30 month waiting list for adult diagnoses right now. Maybe I have ASD, or maybe i'm just regular weird. Who knows. What is normal anyways?

I feel this on a deep level hahaha. I'm also undiagnosed, although I think I'm closer to inattentive ADHD from what I've read. I have a LOT of time on my hands while I wait to see a specialist to wonder if I am just super weird and there's nothing more to it 😆
