    Me three. 57yo, medically retired three years ago due to cancer treatment side effects, only just realised within the last year that I have ADHD and autism.

    I’ve always been the weirdo, outcast, oddball, loner, I couldn’t go back to work now even if I wanted to. I can barely look people in the eyes or have a conversation now.

    My self confidence, self esteem, identity, are all in tatters — apparently everyone else has known for years or even decades but no one said anything to me. FML.
