I’m in my late 40s (for context) and have always had certain executive struggles, but never to the point of crippling or preventing me from living life. Recently I’ve learned about AuDHD and how it manifests and so many things clicked into place. I have had people ask about autism in certain things but they dismissed the idea on their own because of other traits I have. I’ve had people ask about ADHD because of some aspects of personality, but dismiss it because of other traits I have. Hearing and learning about AuDHD and how much clicked, even if I don’t have either, learning of methods of identifying, acknowledging, and utilizing has been so freeing. Like a weight has been lifted and a cloud cleared. I think about pursuing a formal diagnosis but I’m also a person that says what would it matter. I’ve gotten to this point, and if I am or not is irrelevant, if I find comfort and relief in seeing strong similarities and the same adaptations are helpful and working.
