Getting diagnosed as autistic as an adult was/is a hell of a ride. It explains so much, and it's good to find my people and know I'm not "broken" but yeah, life still seems that much harder, now I just know why.

My wife is going through that journey at the moment. It's surprisingly hard to find a therapist who doesn't just whip out the DSM and say she can make eye contact so she's not autistic.
