Text reads: I got my ADHD diagnosis at the ripe age of 32, having gone through my entire life thinking that I was just weird, not there academically or I just couldn't concentrate. I'm also in the process of getting an ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) assessment. A diagnosis has allowed me to not blame myself as much as I did, because a lot of my life has been hating myself for not being able to do the things that others could do, things people around me found extremely easy to do, things that would help me advance in my life or towards the goals that I have set for myself with the ambitions that I had. I wasn't able to portray how I truly felt towards people, but just spend my time being misunderstood or having my actions misunderstood. I know people might perceive me as sometimes cold or distant or quiet or maybe just shy.
