@LadyButterfly Honestly, yes. Though I'm not sure if I'm neurodivergent. I've never been diagnosed, but the more I see people sharing experiences like this the more I'm starting to feel that I might be.

I didn't know I was neurodiverse till I was in my 30s, someone pointed it out to me. It's worth looking into... any ideas what you might have?

@LadyButterfly I've had suspicions for a while, I might be on the Autism spectrum somewhere. I definitely feel like I deal with depression and anxiety as well. I'm also just shy of turning 51. I guess it just took me having that span of time to look back on and see myself and how I felt / reacted to things to clue me in.

Yes, it's really common for people our age to be undiagnosed. Being diagnosed changed my life, it really helped me.

@xoagray @LadyButterfly Has any of your friends been diagnosed? If so you’re diagnosed by peer ^^

@fink @LadyButterfly Probably. I don't know for sure, but the law of averages would suggest it's so.
