My special interests vary depending on my ADHD but I am always wanting to learn lore behind things. I love a good story. Also Kandi

I am sort of lol long story about girlbossing the medical system.

I as a young adult had always said I was a little autistic. Because I was and that was just how I broke the tension about my quirky behavior.

I went to therapy for ADHD my whole childhood but it wasn't like help me cope therapy it was why are you destructive and not listening therapy lol

I am Cat, I am 29, I use any pronouns and am nonbinary gender fluid.

My melt downs are almost always from a texture. Like butter. I get overwhelmed and basically try to scrub the feeling off and panick and go nonverbal. Luckily I learned to use gloves to bake and have gotten better about greasey induced meltdowns.

I honestly figured it out around 22.

I'd been diagnosed with things that I also have but all mimick each other so not surprised my family didn't realize. But I have the accommodations I need now and can actively help my daughter who is exactly like I was.
