Hey! Well it happened! and it wasn't what I thought it would be.. In this episode, I talk about the fall-out after my ADHD assessment. Turns out its ASD! Having a (pre) diagnosis of autism at 55 years old has hit me hard. What does this mean for me now? Why am I feeling a sense of grief and overwhelming sadness at this news? BUT, on the other hand ... how empowering this is too! To be given this life-changing nugget of information by 'the two wonderful women' (the psychologists) explaining why I have been feeling disconnected, dysfunctional, over-emotional and confused for all these decades! Now I have the opportunity to learn more about myself, why I am how I am, and to grow and accept myself - to ACTUALIZE that little bit more!
