Healing as an autistic ADHDer

Prior to my diagnoses, I felt overall like an unhealed person. Aside from the trauma I experienced throughout my life, I just generally felt a bit out of place.

Looking back, it’s likely because I didn’t know I was autistic or ADHD. And because of this, I didn’t have the accommodations in place that I needed. My talk therapist never seemed to work, I didn’t actively engage in my special interests as much as I would have liked because some were considered childish, and I was constantly on the go with social obligations.

Am I a fully healed person now? Of course not. But I do implement a lot of systems to make sure I don’t feel like I ever did prior to being diagnosed.

What would you add to this list?
