Hi all, I am here to see if my suspensions are right.
I was diagnosed with ADD before ADHD was a thing, so I have learned how to deal with it for a long time. I also have little bits of other disorders, like ocd, and sensory input. My oldest daughter is and aspy girl and my youngest is ADD like me.
Until recently I just took it all in stride and have accepted being the weird guy. I ran across some tik toks with neuro divergent discussion as well as ASD content. The talk of masking really got my attention and I realized that I have been doing this my whole life without knowing it. So I went down the rabbit hole and did some of the online ASD tests, the longer ones. They all point to a high probability the I am on the spectrum. I am looking for a DR. That specializes in adult diagnosis to make it official.
