NotNeurotypical.fyi provides me a platform to open up about numerous lifelong health challenges: Reccurring Major Depressive Episodes; Acute Social Anxiety; PTSD Trauma, Eating Disorders (Bulimia & Anorexia); Body Dysmorphia; Breakdowns & Burnouts, since my mid teens.

In late 2024, whilst under the care of the amazing NHS Crisis Team, I was informed I was likely on the spectrum for Autism & ADHD, which had never been on my radar (although I had been misdiagnosed with Bipolar when I was 35).

A few months later, after realising the NHS waiting list was not something I could wait for, I decided to get a private AuDHD Assessment, which ultimately confirmed a Late Diagnosis Autism & ADHD, at 53…

Since then my life has been turned upside down and inside out, whilst I try to deal with this late diagnosis, and also in early stages of trying ADHD medication itself being particularly frustrating and arduous.
