but they don't affect the underlying neurodivergence in any way (ie. I'm still annoyed at change, still struggle to Go Out And Do Things in life)

Have you talked to doctor about those? You may have to seek out psychologist and/or therapist to get answers you’re looking for.

I wish I could go back and get diagnosed sooner. I barely remember my 20’s due to major depressive episodes. But I’m happy I’m figuring it out now instead of 10 or 20 yrs from now!
