This is just a post to validate anyone who doesn’t feel seen. If you think you might be autistic or have ADHD (or both), your feelings are valid, and I understand.

    This happened to me! Except I was in primary school and it was my paediatrician. I specifically remember her joking to her friends ’ MY child isn’t [r-word]’

      Ouch! I’m sorry you had to go through that. =(

      I’m almost certain that one of my parents has ADHD (if not both) and I somehow made it all the way through the school system being the kid that “is a smart kid, he just needs to apply himself more”.
