Discovery of a label for traits you've always had changes nothing. The label won't help, except as a justification for "treatment" from people who would otherwise reject you. It's like a hall pass to therapies that might might not help. Probably not.
@VulcanTourist@evelynefoerster I disagree , I think that having knowledge of a developmental divergence would have helped me many times. I spent a lifetime trying to fix things in myself that I now know were unfixable.
I am also classic ASD in that I like co classify things, & being able to put behaviours in a box marked ASD or a box marked Depression will help me personally a lot, because then I can stop stressing over stuff I can do little or nothing about.

It's hard not being able to understand things until at last, one knows where the trouble lies. This then opens so many doors and windows and explains so many things which happened in the past. And know we can do something, understand things, and sort out our pain.
@VulcanTourist@MaJ1
Not yet - here are a lot of people that understand, and no judgement made. Be yourself here, I'm sure a door will open for you and you can step inside without overthinking - we are here for you.
@VulcanTourist@evelynefoerster I think we are alike, which is why we gel the way we do.
But remember I am a week into this, so who knows where I will be in 25 years.
However knowledge is power, perhaps one needs to learn how to leverage that power to it’s greatest benefit ?
I hope that perhaps we can help each other in this side of our personas as we move onwards on this journey 😊🫶🐿️🖖
@JohnLoader6@evelynefoerster I know , but I’m just recovering from a long depressive episode & it’s not taking much to take my legs out from under me atm. I will get there it’s just not gonna be a straight route.
@MaJ1@JohnLoader6
