Huge win… after 19 years of misdiagnoses, I am now in the final part of a comprehensive assessment with an expert in ASD who has confirmed that all my life’s struggles are explained by this fact they all missed, when they made a big mess of things thinking they were offering qualified help!
I want to thank folks here, especially @allisonplus, as I know I was not always in the best headspace to know how to handle when others really tried to help — I have a long road to recover from all the trauma, which would not have been possible if it were not for this stop in my journey.
