"I love your personality!"





'Thanks, I made it just for you.'

Oh my God!
This is so relevant to my recent experience!
I have not yet been assessed/evaluated/diagnosed, but I’m resonating so much with what those who experience life with ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder-also ND) & ADHD simultaneously….
And shared this suspicion with a friend, she BLEW UP! Unfortunately, which in thousands of levels was heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹💔

ButI am also working to unmask and differentiate me from my mask. (Which I have already been working in deprogramming from societal stuff, which feels like unmasking) but seeing it through these eyes is even more helpful.

About 3 month ago i went to see my dokter about my mental state. I thought i had a pretty big chance of having adhd. I decided not to go thru with it because my dokter responded with : Why would you do that? You 45 whats the point?
Jaw dropped and i never saw that dokter again.

The same goes for long-term depression and ptsd. At one point the line between me and my disease seemingly became the same.

My mask has become so much a part of me that I find it almost impossible to STOP masking, even around people who know I'm ND and don't expect me to be NT. The only way I can relax and drop the mask is complete isolation.

Every artist has their own style. So if you made a mask, it’s YOUR mask, your creation, and there’s still you in that. At least that’s what I tell myself. (Also late diag AuDHD despite how obvious my symptoms were as a child!)

Same with me and my Asperger's and ADD. Thanks for bringing it up, I thought I was alone feeling like that.

I mask really hard at school. I'm back in school after graduating highschool 13 yrs ago. I'm very emotionally & mentally exhausted after school. I try to be my most "natural" self at work, with some exceptions. I feel comfortable & safe in my work environment. At home, I probably mask more than work? I have 2 young kids& even though they find me odd. I'm trying my best to lead by example. Trying to learn how to take control of my big emotions & coping with them. I feel like I fail miserably.... But that's my mom guilt

Saw ND in the title, part of me perked up thinking me and one of my favorite creators were from the same state.
