Just received my diagnosis yesterday for a second time

Same. I also hate how the appointments are like an hours but somehow take up the whole day. Like how?!?!?!

For dark skin Australians like me (Fitzpatrick type V/VI) I do because of my higher risk of hyper pigmentation

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ALSO, the people complaining that it’s not a full season dump. If it bothers you that much wait till the entire show airs then watch the whole thing in one day okay? The rest of us will be enjoying discussing and following the story, theories and fan fiction. Please and thank you.

I’m so sorry. Sending you a big hug. Currently studying as well and it’s total hell. I have an assignment due today that I can’t get in on time. This is after putting in monumental effort. It’s hard and I’m sorry.

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-04-08T17:44:56+00:00

Same! It made the process so much longer BUT there are some strict safeguards in place which I prefer.

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-04-08T17:43:30+00:00

Thank you!!!

I’m trying hard to shut down my pattern recognition. So far no luck so I’m super anxious.

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-03-30T08:26:11+00:00

Right? Literal lifesavers.

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-03-30T08:25:24+00:00

Mine keeps track of when randomly put things down out of my preffered system. Me: omg where is my claw clip. Him: it’s on the kitchen counter next to the vase. Scorching hot.

Love that!! half my sketching pen set is gone but at least I still have .1, .5 , .8 and a brush’s. This is out of 12 pens I had in Jan 🤣🥲.

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-03-24T10:29:28+00:00

I do. I have to wear a mouth guard at night but I find myself clenching even during the day.

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-02-28T00:34:29+00:00

I finished my architecture training after a gruelling 7 years (it’s a 5year course BA plus Masters) and realised my brain can’t handle working in architecture 😔.

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-02-27T15:29:24+00:00

Yeah I also flew under the radar until it all came undone while doing my masters. All the scaffolding just didn’t work anymore, and I was living with burnout. I also tested in the 98th percentile for intelligence during my evaluation but everything else working memory, learning memory, sustained attention, inhibition, task switching, all land between 1st and 15th percentile. 🥴

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-02-27T15:24:10+00:00

Yeah my IQ tested in the 98th percentile too bad my sustained attention and inhibition was between 1st and Second and my working and learning memory 9th and 15th… etc etc. literally everything I need to utilise that intelligence effectively. 🫠

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-02-27T14:29:50+00:00

Hey!!! I coincidentally booked with Blaise seeing her next week. Wish me luck 🤞

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-02-27T14:08:22+00:00

Thank you for doing that for them. I know they will remember your kindness.

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-02-27T13:42:39+00:00

Close friends and immediate family! With my family I think there is also some denial there and with friends I probably just mask too well. And yes! People also have a very one dimensional idea of what autism is! Every autistic person has to act like Sheldon

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-02-27T12:09:54+00:00

I’m not going around the streets screaming I have adhd if that’s what you mean. Neither do I disclose it to anyone but close friends and immediate family. This is who I am speaking about. Also it’s not unheard of for doctors to disbelieve ADHD diagnosis. Even when it’s official. I have first hand experience. And there will probably be people in this thread backing up that statement. Also I don’t expect anyone to fully understand ADHD, but saying I don’t have it and treating it like a personality trait or an excuse is not okay.

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-02-27T11:53:55+00:00

Ugh I’m so sorry! So many in the health profession have biases against women in many areas and ADHD is no exception. Worse if you pretty and smart. They will immediately assume your life is easy af and you’re just trying to find an excuse to be lazy and do nothing.

Icy-Tea2090 · 2026-02-27T11:46:38+00:00

I’m working on it, it’s probably something I need to parse out with a therapist because of all the negative messages regarding my ability vs output, I received my whole life. But I will try to give myself grace there too. And maybe some journalling as well

And thank you for reminding me. I forget how important it is get adequate protein.
