Diagnosis of neurodivergence in adulthood often leads to a mix of relief and anguish as past struggles become clearer. Many experience a profound moment of realization, often linked to societal biases that contribute to late diagnoses, particularly among women, BIPOC and queer individuals. For some, this understanding brings comfort and validation, highlighting traits previously viewed as failures. However, it also evokes grief for unaddressed struggles over the years, along with a newfound sense of self-compassion and an understanding of one’s needs.
Finding out you're neurodivergent as an adult is a mind-blowing revelation. It's like discovering a hidden director's commentary on your life, except the commentary is just a voice yelling, "THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!"
