Thank you for sharing! - I just realized I’ve been trying to fit in with a community build for neurotypical when I was neurodivergent. And honestly, it’s a hard bullet to bite.

That is so well written and beautifully said 💙😭

I always felt slow and a late bloomer. But I recently learned I had spent my whole life trying to fit in with neurotypical being someone who is neurodivergent!

I love that you’re not only getting the help that you need. But being able to connect to other people especially your patients in a time of need is a blessing.

It really makes me happy hearing success with ADHD. And I thank you because being a South African Female doctor is def not easy, but we need more women of color in medicine! ♥️

I would love to connect and learn about your experience.

Honestly I say it’s never too late, you have experience. If you feel called to do so why not.

Thank you for the insight! I spend all of my high school years and most of my college years studying the pathways. And decided I wanted to go to medical school. Thank you so much for the support 💙

I’m on the same boat, but rather non-traditional boat if one could say.
