How it felt growing up with undiagnosed autism and ADHD
Transcript
Always felt 2 steps behind, as if everyone took a coarse on how to be a “normal” functioning human but you were never enrolled 🫠 I survived on pure observational skills. The best way to describe it is that one game where everyone knows the word except you but you have to play it cool and not show that you don’t know the word - so you have to act and guess based on everyone else’s keywords. DOES THIS EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE? 😭😭😭 I don’t know point is, it was HARD and sometimes it still is. #audhd
