Finding out you’re ADHD, autistic, etc, first reactions be like the ground fell out from under you, “oh my god I’m X now, on top of everything else”. Really it’s just a label for something that’s always been happening, IT’S ALWAYS BEEN THERE, it just has a name now is all that changed.
this is actually super important!!!
Huh. My first reaction was relief, knowing that I wasn’t imagining it when everything was impossible as a student.
