Thank you for sharing this @Suzanne. I'm pleased for you, and it's interesting to read about your process. I haven't gone down that road yet, as people here don't seem to get the masking that we can adopt, to survive, and be good at.
I already get financial assistance from/for a misdiagnosis/ mental ill health comorbidities.
I would like to do advocacy but I suspect that, without the legitimization of a diagnosis, my advocacy might not carry as much weight/ be taken as seriously.
Anyway I appreciate learning about other's diagnosis, it's helping me think through my own direction. I understand it would be quite validating and clarifying.
