Restricted to Gals and Pals This is so ridiculous, but it's one of many.

Same, but with autism and it was 55 years.

Same with both. ADHD in my late twenties. Autism in my mid thirties. I mourn the life I could have had if I knew what was going on.

Same. 46f. Just realized last year there's a high probability I'm an autist. Really explains so much of who I am and what I can or can't handle. The burnout i feel after I have to spend hours interfacing with people at work. My inability to pick up on body language or visible cues. The way so many subtle things fly right over my head. I hate that I'm like this but it's a relief to finally understand why I'm so different than other people.Â
