Autism I strongly suspected after reading and watching some stuff about people who were diagnosed later in life and a lot of it just rung true. For years I thought I was just a chronically depressed, traumatised, introvert. I undertook some counselling this year which really helped with most of the trauma stuff. But the feeling of being burnt out, alienated and depressed was still lingering among other things. Last year I also had my manager at the time say to me that they thought I might have ADHD, which they themselves had and recommended I look into getting assessed. I was prepared for it, but it still came as a surprise. But holy shit did it explain a lot about me so I'm glad I decided to take the plunge and find out.
