The Neurodiversity Thread

When it says on forms and things ' do you need any adjustments? ' I think I'm at the stage where I do need to say , yes I do need adjustments. Can I just say that? And then explain it what way adjustments would help. I don't have a diagnosis yet , I've not sought one.

I took part in a new activity today and the instructor suggested I may have dyspraxia .
Now that has crossed my mind before, but felt quite validated that someone else suggest that's why I struggle. In my childhood, people just seemed to think I wasn't trying hard enough or wasn't paying attention.

How did your diagnosis come about ? In my childhood, I was just thought to not be trying hard enough.
I've suspected I may be autistic for years , and I'm wondering about adhd now. I've started struggling in the last few, which could coincide with perimenopause. I believe dyspraxia can occur along side another neurodivergence .

I was fortunate enough to have it done through work/private medical. It didn't even register to me to go through the process if I’m honest, it was only because my colleague was going through the process & he said ‘you’re the same’ 🤣.
I’m autistic, ADHD & dyspraxia. I’ve always told people ‘Reading numbers is like reading Japanese to me’. At primary school they made us sit on the mat & answer sums before we could leave for the day, I was always the last one left.
I have peace of mind since diagnosis but it hasn’t changed my world - diagnoses is hard to achieve via the NHS so don’t be disheartened, you know yourself at your core. ❤
