Caption: I still don't know why part of autistic/adhd diagnosis isn't putting you in a room with someone already diagnosed and seeing how quickly you bond.
Childhood trauma can cause the same symptoms as autism but that usually gets worked out through therapy and some mood boosters.
Guess how I found out :)
heh we're a little similar. I thought my symptoms were all childhood trauma and I was just bad at therapy. Whoops.
Oof yeah, having both is definitely a headache. At least you're here now :)
Welcome to the club!
What's mood boosters?
Happy pills. I was given amphetamines to start, but that's an extreme scenario as I was in the psych ward. Nowadays I take a very small dose of a different medicine, just gives a small lift in mood. Not even really noticeable to me but they helped me engage in general, making therapy actually productive.
Interesting, thank you, and good luck!
Yup, same boat. My parents fucked around, and I had to find out...
