I have recently been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD and it’s all so overwhelming. It explains so much, but now I have to learn what my needs actually are and stop stressing my abilities to the point of break down. How do people work, maintain a home, and have relationships?!


It’s just so much.

Hi Penguin. A diagnosis is a lot to process, which is perfectly understandable. I remember back to when my daughter was first diagnosed, and her telling me it was such a rollercoaster of emotions. I’d say give yourself some grace and try to listen closely to your needs during this time.  


Hopefully there will be some other replies that come along with more ideas and support. 

Thanks so much for sharing. It will get better.


Wishing you the best, Rosie 🌹

Hey, it's great that you have a more clear picture of you now. I have both ADHD and am autistic and I don't know how people do these things lol but I do know that it takes a lot of self compassion to cope with it all.
