Chapter 33 recapping my unexpected
Chapter 33 recapping my unexpected Autism and ADHD year: this week I'm looking back at my thirties and early 40s and the two opposing stories of those years, both of which were equally true - the happy smiling adventure version, and the struggle that having undiagnosed AuDHD was having on me trying to find my place in the world that ultimately led to a breakdown and an ASD diagnosis.
My thirties were the decade where my outward success and inner turmoil became most in opposition to each other as I came to realise I was struggling badly to be able to enjoy the life I was living, simply because I had no framework to understand why my brain works the way it does. This is why knowledge and understanding of neurodivergence is so important to push up the agenda, so people simply understand themselves and how to accommodate the way they process the world.

Some useful links:
AQ Autism Self-Test:
I'm going to keep posting the link to the AQ Self Test for autism every episode in case this is the first video in the series people come across. Take the self test (remember it's JUST a self-test) and see how you score. You may have been on the autism spectrum all along and just had no idea, like I was:

Cat-Q Test (Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire): An alternate self-test if you've gone a long time masking.

ADHD Self-Test:
(with all the same caveats as above) ADHD is even MORE common than autism (and many of us will have both); the vast majority of ADHDers just struggle through from childhood through adulthood having no idea that they even HAVE ADHD, let alone working out strategies to cope and deal with it all better to be happier and less frustrated with ourselves and others.
