✨NEW✨Autism and ADHD - intro to me

[@Paisley...]

"Found" your channel yesterday and watch your videos since then. Thank you so much for your content, it's so relatable. I'm 54 years old, female and selfdiagnosed with autism 6 months ago. I tried to get an official diagnosis and talked to a neurologist that diagnosed me with depression a couple of years ago. He seemed to get really angry, I had no chance to explain anything. He said we're "all a little bit autistic" and "there's no treatment anyways". Now I'll watch your other videos an am looking forward to new ones! Thank you soooo much again! ❤

you do a good job pairing personal experiences with the subject. thank you. shutdown, meltdown and how they relate to anxiety and depression is a good topic. also, how to unmask with specific examples is my intense interest right now.

You are an excellent communicator! And I am happy to have found your channel in its early stage. I am 59 years old, self diagnosed and working with a psychiatrist. Happy to join your community.

I’m so happy this channel has been valuable for you so far! Welcome! ♥️✨🫶🏼

Love to hear your story! I want to hear about neurodivergent parenting. Systems or coping strategies that help.

[@AuthenticallyAlexis2023]

Great suggestion! I can absolutely do a video on that. ❤

I dearly love you and appreciate this video so much because in the last 2 years many I know have been diagnosed and it is something I’ve wondered if I have masked and struggled with my whole life but haven’t found a safe place to get help and support. So much of what you shared made me feel safe, seen and heard for things I’ve struggled with my whole life. Thank you for your authentic video and opening up. ❤

Awe Holly ♥️ your one of the sweetest souls I know. I’m happy you could resonate with my story and SO happy this space feels safe for you. A community of other neurodivergent minds can be so comforting. Sending a big virtual hug.🤗

I found a link on Amazon to this one! That should get you in the range of what you’re looking for and you can browse around. They also make stuffed animal ones!

Wait a minute, you've been with your husband for 8 years , you're 24 and he has a 13 year old daughter?

[@AuthenticallyAlexis2023]

Oh my goodness! Six years at the time! (Now almost 8) I guess I got my math wrong on this. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I do also have dyscalculia. I am now 26, he is 42 and she is 14. We also have three more children together. Yes it’s unconventional. (Our age gap) But we are very happy together. I’ve been her stepmother most of her life and it just feels normal to us. ♥️
