I've never gotten a diagnosis for this stuff, but most of my friends are on the AuDHD spectrum and they suspect I'm on it too. I think they're right, but now I'm wondering how bad the dianogstic would be. |
Thank you; it has been rough, constant late fees on bills and things, labelled as lazy/naughty, constant state of disorganization and stress.
The thing with us folks is we tend to flock together like birds; if all your friends are AuDHD, good chance you are too. I had a small group of fellow oddball friends when I was in school, and surprise surprise, turns out we were all the autistic/ADHD kids, but back then in a small town in rural Australia in the 1990s, nobody knew what the fuck that was so none of us were diagnosed til adulthood. We somehow found each other as kids though just cos none of us fit in with the "normal" kids as they found us too weird with all our ticks and stims and other unconventional behaviours.

Thanks; it is a relief to know that I'm not just lazy and there's a medical reason why I've always struggled so much with remembering things and staying organized. Next step is getting some treatment, we'll see how that goes.
