My about me section leans more professional, so I wanted to share something more personal. I’m 40-years-old and I was just diagnosed with AuDHD at 39. What is AuDHD you ask? That means that I have both Autism and ADHD. I plan to post more about that since it is a newer term and not in the DSM V- maybe the next one!
I also have bipolar type 2 and complex PTSD (c-ptsd) as well as an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto’s. It’s quite the rap sheet, but I am pretty well versed in Psychology and agree with all of them. Also, not everyone knows that Autism and ADHD are neurodevelopmental “disorders” and bipolar is a mental health “disorder”.
I believe that I am disabled by society (more on that later) and that neurodivergence is a strength. That doesn’t mean that it is easy for us to navigate a world that wasn’t designed by or for us.
I’m also an active ally for Black, Brown, and Indigenous people and communities, the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and an advocate for disability justice. You are safe here 🫶
My pronouns are she/they and I identify as queer, disabled, and very neurodivergent. Nice to meet you and I hope this page can be helpful. Check out the resources page for Mental Health resources. I see you, I hear you, you belong, and your story matters. 🧡
