Hello. I'm late 30s and undiagnosed, since my country has a 30 month waiting list for adult diagnoses right now. Maybe I have ASD, or maybe i'm just regular weird. Who knows. What is normal anyways?

I feel this on a deep level hahaha. I'm also undiagnosed, although I think I'm closer to inattentive ADHD from what I've read. I have a LOT of time on my hands while I wait to see a specialist to wonder if I am just super weird and there's nothing more to it 😆
Early 40s, diagnosed with ADD at age 6. That was before DSM rolled ADD and a bunch of other outdated concepts into ADHD in the mid-nineties.
Hi, I'm Os and I'm new here! I'm here because I have major depression, general anxiety, and inattentive adhd. I also love Taskmaster! I really like Minecraft and I make lots of texture packs and things for it over on planetminecraft.
Hi Os! Love meeting other Taskmaster fans! I have an unhealthy obsession with it. Greg in teacher mode is my absolute favourite. I think my favourite season was the the fifteenth. Fern Brady is a neurodivergent queen 🤩
Hi everyone this is my first comment here despite being here for a few days and trying to use it more, slowly weaning myself off Reddit (no idea if I'm gonna be able to do it long term). I was diagnosed with Asperger's as a teenager, but I was in denial for a very long time because I didn't like the psychologist diagnosing me. I don't like the term anymore because the doctor was a Nazi. Rather just saw ASD level 1. Recently I've been realising I have ADHD and I think that causes me more problems in my life than ASD. I can't afford to get diagnosed or medicated currently however :/
We (parents, counselors, teachers etc.) are 99% certain that our eldest son is "on the spectrum". This has been quite a journey learning about all of this.
We (everyone mentioned above, including our son) are very confident that we'll be able to find the support that our son needs.
When I've asked my eldest son if he "trusts the process" (i.e. finding the support that he needs) he has responded positively.
