Adult ADHD & Autism

[Stacey74]

I turned 50yo in June & have simultaneously discovered i am ADHD wired and have also been Autistic my entire life.

I am relearning who i am & frustrated with so much time lost. It's getting worse too - sometimes I feel nutty as squirrel :pile_of_poo:.

I experience life as though being constantly prodded from all directions with a psychological cattle prod & all I do is sleep. 

I am weary of myself 😒.

welcome to the forums @Stacey74 !!

finding out recently must've been a mixed bag of emotions! i know that the idea of relearning can seem tedious but i hope it brings you some wonderful insight and provides you with effective tools to conquer whatever comes your way. we have a lot of neurodivergent members in the community so i'm sure they'll reach out soon - in the meantime, feel free to check out this ADHD space and perhaps introduce yourself there as well if you feel comfy: Wait what did I come into this thread for again? O... - SANE Forums 

look forward to hearing more about your new journey, we're here for you 💚
