Hi, I. Tonya Tiry, I'm 50 and just diagnosed ADHD. I'm also on the autistic spectrum. I never truly understood that I could be different and not failing at being. I always wondered why things like cleaning were hard. But un locking a 72 pinto with it's dipstick was exceptionally easy once I convinced my mom to open the hood. Or that I couldn't get the layout my plaster superviser wanted unless I did something different. I finally ask does it matter if I add 2 seven times to get a or if I multiply 7*3 to get a. As long as I get a. He laughed and said "no, it doesn't, you do you". Now I know why I'm like this it makes sense to me now. Now it's just getting my family to beble to accept, see, and learn to work with the way I am. So.e are very neurotipical. I struggle to just get them to understand that I'm not a night person by 3 I'm exhausted and wnt bed. But I'm up between 3 and 6 already to go most the time. Sometimes I'm dragging but that's more when I push the exhaustion to far. It's also hard to look back and see myself wing spanked because I couldnt spell or clean my room. My parents thought that was all the solutions were. Spank it in to or out of me which does not help with the lack of oomf to clean now.
