I’ve never posted here but i want to celebrate and tell everyone!! I’m 18 and have been on the waiting list for 2 and a half years and i’m finally diagnosed. After getting medicated for adhd i started to notice autistic behaviors that i had assumed were adhd due to the overlap, but now knowing for certain that i’m autistic is such a relief. No more wondering if there’s just something inherently wrong with me, no more appointments that end with “the results are inconclusive, go fuck yourself.”

This is a weight lifted off my and my mom’s shoulders. I’m so thankful for the woman we worked with for listening to us and diagnosing me officially. I’m getting drunk with my best friend tonight to celebrate lol.
