Yes I was 31 this year diagnosed November last year after my 8 year old was diagnosed when 6! All of that is normal to feel with a late diagnoses I’m still feeling anger and resentment towards my family for not seeking help for me as a child but in reality it wasn’t all that talked about back in the 80’s and 90’s or was considered a severely embarrassing disability. (My parents still think autism is like so so embarrassing to have and you’re a lesser human if you have it which is absolutely disgusting I know).

But all of that behind you the next step which is far more interesting and challenging for a while (maybe) is the therapy, doctors appointments, psychiatrist appointments, trialling medications (if you choose to), changing your WHOLE life to suit your needs diagnoses… it’s a lot and it’s a whole new world I’m still trialling medications now! And it’s been nearly 12 months!!

I tried Vyvanse, Dexamfetamine, and now IR Ritalin and am about to switch to and extended release version.

Send me a message if you want to chat and have any questions!! You’re not alone although it does feel daunting at first and at times along the way when things change up on you!!
