LiveFire it turns out. 10m audio for #StarTrekDay 2026. #AutisticSenior #LateDX #LivedExperience #Gratitude #RoleModelsAndTheirChallenges

I'd put the link here but it seems the upload side of wifi is being recalcitrant today. So I'll try it again later. Delays reveal that I am a spoiled brat.

our life stories have values, need to be told for benefit of peer YP, documented, made available before our narratives pass into the mists of outsiders with their biases and agendas, overlaying their ‘observational fictions’ denying us agency and the world authenticity

Late diagnosed AuDHD people need more understanding, kindness and also direct support (any would be good) for all the issues acquired and formed by a rigid society, lifelong masking and the missunderstandings of others during those ‘unknown years’

You’ve Waited a lifetime

Told due to a crisis you need a DX to get help to begin to sort out the havoc it’s wrought on your life

You wait and wait

Get the DX & still in crisis then ask for that help to deal with the consequences

You wait
and wait
And wait

And it never comes

On file: Major Depression, cPTSD, Autistic Burnout (high), A.C.E. 10/10, LateDX, Senior. I don't "look it", but I struggle every day, all day long & I know full well:

This world does not care.

Urgent need? #Understatement.
Urgent need for trauma-informed care for Autistic adults:
• 72% experienced sexual or physical assault in research
• 44% met criteria for PTSD
• 93% reported high levels of mind-based dissociation
Trauma among autistic adults is widespread & under-recognised.

p.p.s: Still seeking someone in #neuroscience #genetics #epigenetics and/or interdisciplinary folk working in this area to stick me in an #fMRI and learn from this brain while it's still firing.

@audhd-psychnp.com - I don't do this type often anymore, but it felt like time. So one for the #LivedExperience pile and the #Senior #LateDX chair. 🖖

Rando, drive-by autistic human here (LateDX, Senior) - if self-managed exploration is of interest while you wait, these folks have graciously put ALL the assessment tests online. You can explore and discover as you prefer. 🖖

I am #lateDX #ADHD. I have needed and done this my entire life but for 38 years before the diagnosis, I was convinced it was all magical whimsy (or just maybe I was an alien). So… win win 🤣

I'm getting reaaalll tired of the "girls didn't get ADHD dx bc they didn't act like ADHD boys" rhetoric
Yes, some of us did act like adhd boys, and we got shamed and or punished for being bad girls, not given a dx and resources like the boys
