Late diagnosed autism

Hello everyone 🙌🏼 I’m a 27 yo female that has just recieved her diagnosis on high functioning autism and ADHD. I have personally suspected autism but ADHD has caught me by surprise.

I wonder if there are any others like me on this platform willing to share their story of self discovery after the diagnosis. I’m curious about everything: how did you fund out, what healthy copping strategies have you developed, what helps you with sensory overload, how do you overcome and prepare for big changes in life, how are you maintaining intimate relationships, how do you cherish the talents and gifts that high functioning autism brings.

I’d be happy for every story you have to share
