It is possible to just be mono-neurodiverse. Not everyone’s pan-neurodiverse or a walking caricature of the neurodevelopmental chapter of the DSM.

Did you not get a second opinion?

If not, why not?

Because not everyone’s in denial about their neurotype. Yes, it’s super-over-diagnosed these days but Denver might not fall into that category. It sounds like he had reason to want this diagnosis.

It must feel good to know why you are the way you are, I always wonder about myself. It's hard to get a diagnosis, well done.

I have that too. How does yours work? I often need 3 screens going at once to get any kind of stimulation.

OMG

During the covid lockdown I occasionally worked from home with two PCs , Ipad and a mobile screen all going at the same time as I listened to TalkSport !

Even now I will have the radio on TalkSport whilst downloading music on one PC and watching YouTube clips on the second pc

Also I cannot relax … I have to be doing something or over thinking something else

I always feel tense as well .. not that I mind so much - maybe I’m just used to being this way

…get the help, yes…but also, a huge help that diagnosis will give you is you…because you’ll be able to understand so much more how your processing works…?…and that Denver is going to be like a light turning on…like the drawing back of curtains to see daylight, you know……still a long journey but now one that’s going to feel a lot clearer…and you’re no stranger to journeys because here you are, you got that diagnosis and sadly, many don’t….but you did…well done you ……

People don’t realise how hard it is to get diagnosed once you’re an adult

You still have to deal with the trauma of growing up knowing that ‘something’ was wrong with you and nobody understanding that and then they make you feel stupid about it

Good job getting it looked into. A lot of people never find the courage to do so and you should be proud of yourself for making that jump
