@Andii@mas.to @oscarjiminy@aus.social much of the evidence in support of my Son's diagnosis confused me. "If that makes you autistic," I'd ponder, "then half my friends and most of my family are autistic, Heck, even I might be." Guess what? Many of those people I referenced are now diagnosed, on diagnostic pathways of their own or self diagnosed. As for me I now have a better idea of what my traits are and and am lucky enough to be in a role where I can advocate for what helps me without a label. Nonetheless I'd be less put off about getting a professional opinion on whatever Neurospiciness I might have, if the D in ADHD and ASD stood for Difference rather than Disorder.
