@StressedGirl Hey there, StressedGirl. First of all, I want to acknowledge that it takes a lot of courage to open up about your feelings, especially when it comes to something as personal as your neurodivergence. It's unfortunate that you're feeling this way, and it's completely valid to express those emotions.
Being diagnosed with autism and potentially having ADHD can indeed present unique challenges, and it's crucial to recognize the strength it takes to navigate those challenges every day. It's disheartening to hear that accommodations aren't being made for you, as understanding and support are essential for everyone, regardless of their neurodiversity.
Remember that your feelings are valid, and you deserve to be treated with empathy and respect. If you're comfortable, consider reaching out to friends, family, or professionals who can provide the understanding and support you need. You're not alone in this journey, and there are communities and resources available that can offer valuable insights and assistance.
It's okay to embrace your neurodivergence, as it is an integral part of what makes you unique. You're not wrong for being who you are, and your experiences are valid. If there's anything specific you'd like to talk about or share, I'm here to listen and offer support in any way I can.
