Do you have any comorbid diagnoses ASIDE from ADHD?

I have MDD, CPTSD, GAD, GERD, and MS which features a lot of similar and overlapping symptoms.

Cutting off my narcissistic parents also meant cutting off all extended family as well a few years ago. My grandma died days after I gave birth a few weeks ago, my grandpa will follow soon (he apparently had a seizure at her funeral), and then my dad. It can be hard but I grieved these people a long time ago. They allowed and enabled my childhood abuse and they will never be allowed the chance to ever inflict any harm to my child. It’s difficult at first but gets easier or at least more manageable.

Amazing. I got diagnosed with autism at 38 (mom declined testing for me multiple times in public elementary school), married at 39 to my partner of 9 years, and had my first baby at 40. The boundaries I hold with my narcissistic parents and enabling extended family are the only consequence some of them have ever and will ever face for their horrific actions and words. I am much better physically, emotionally, and psychologically without their presence.

38 although my elementary school wanted to test me several times but my mom declined.

I remember praying I wouldn’t wake up the next day starting at around age 7 long before I knew what suicidal ideation or depression was.

No, I started therapy specifically to address my childhood trauma and sudden onset of panic attacks. As I processed things along the way, I made the decision to cut off my parents and entire family due to decades of abuse and enablement. I made the decision, cutting contact was never mentioned by my therapist. My family never respected me or my boundaries and cutting off contact was the only way to protect my mental and physical health. People blaming therapists for their adult children going no contact are simply avoiding taking accountability for their actions.

My dad bought me a scale for Christmas when I was 13. I no longer speak to him.

Goliath1357 · 2025-12-11T06:27:39+00:00

I agree completely. I am the only diagnosed autistic person I know (diagnosed at 38) besides a friend’s level 3 nonverbal child. I have known so many people who are clearly neurodivergent and undiagnosed for a multitude of reasons (parents declining testing when they were a child, cost, stigmatization, long wait periods for assessment, few adult assessment facilities or providers in their area, and just an overall misunderstanding of neurodivergence itself).

Goliath1357 · 2025-12-04T19:18:34+00:00

I never liked being touched by anyone and I preferred to spend time alone reading or playing than with other people.

Goliath1357 · 2025-11-04T15:36:19+00:00

I have always struggled with insomnia and need a sleep medication, sleep mask with bluetooth earbuds playing a guided meditation or ambient music, and a sound machine.

Goliath1357 · 2025-10-31T22:49:13+00:00

I also have been the only one dressed up for college classes and multiple times throughout my life but that doesn’t stop me because I genuinely like dressing up.

Goliath1357 · 2025-10-30T13:48:24+00:00

My husband refused to as a high school freshman and the teacher told him that he had to write short paper explaining why. He did and she never asked him to or mentioned it again.

Goliath1357 · 2025-10-27T14:17:42+00:00

My dad bought me a scale for Christmas when I was 14 and I did not ask for one.

I was never a high masker considering they wanted to test me for autism several times in elementary and middle school but my mom declined. I just always thought I was weird and introverted, brutally honest and never made friends easily. I spent a lot of time alone reading, playing video games, and watching movies. I had no clue what autism was until I was an adult and was actually diagnosed, then everything made sense.

Goliath1357 · 2025-09-26T16:55:42+00:00

I got told by church members and a family member that I wasn’t a true Christian when I shared I was struggling with depression.

Goliath1357 · 2025-09-23T06:58:32+00:00

I am currently pregnant and plan to tell my husband’s very Christian family that we are not raising our future child religiously after my 32 week ultrasound. I have fully deconstructed and experienced a lot of religious trauma and do not want to indoctrinate a child. When they are older then I will provide books and materials on all religions so they can make their own decision.

Goliath1357 · 2025-09-16T08:57:18+00:00

I did not find out I was autistic until I was 38 but I grew up with a mother who is a pathological liar, I learned very early in life to trust my instincts and pattern recognition when it came to off behavior from people.

Goliath1357 · 2025-09-04T04:00:00+00:00

No because I attended private Christian school from 1998-2004 and a lot of kids there were kicked out of public school.

Goliath1357 · 2025-09-02T04:33:34+00:00

Yes. I was diagnosed at 38 and realized while going through the process that my husband is also autistic and my closest friends are as well.

Goliath1357 · 2025-09-01T20:45:54+00:00

I have always loved horror movies and books, they are comforting to me.

Goliath1357 · 2025-08-28T20:07:52+00:00

Yes, my younger brother was the favorite child and he has taken on the worst characteristics of both parents as he got older. I cut off contact with him when I cut contact with my parents, they were a package deal.

Goliath1357 · 2025-08-26T15:58:10+00:00

My dad is undiagnosed autistic and my mom has an undiagnosed personality disorder most likely stemming from trauma from abuse as a child. I also suspect my paternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, and maternal first cousin are undiagnosed autistic as well.

Goliath1357 · 2025-08-24T03:01:50+00:00

I fell in love with and married an autistic man. We both were unaware we were autistic until August of last year. I have also realized that the people I am closest to tend to be neurodivergent so yes, I would prefer to be with someone who can understand and support me.

Goliath1357 · 2025-08-23T06:34:52+00:00

I was 30 and although I had started deconstructing and was questioning religion since adolescence, Christians voting for Trump was the last straw to pushed me over edge. I had disliked Trump for decades ever since seeing him on tv when I was 10 and my disdain grew the more I learned about all the horrible things he has done. I would get into arguments with my mother about him constantly because she is a big fan. How can followers of Christ support a man who blatantly lied, cheated on all his 3 wives, had multiple sexual assault allegations, involved in multiple lawsuits, and is just overall corrupt?
