As a 41 year old, I feel more relief and validation than I believe I've ever felt. On this journey, I've come to love the neurodiverse community and as much as I will always advocate for self-diagnosis, having it on paper is admittedly rewarding. I feel less alone in this community and hope to be a blessing somehow.

Oh, I hear you! It's validation that helps you know yourself better.

Congrats! How did you get to asking for an eval? What were the steps that lead you to think you needed to get tested?
