Just realized I’ve been commenting from my other TH-cam channel, completely unintentional, apologies for the confusion 😅

Thank you for this video. I was diagnosed later in life and I'm still trying to figure myself out. ADHD, ADD, PTSD and PCOS which also messes with my brain. I don't know where to go in my community to meet people like myself. -Evansville, Indiana

i like ur voice

Hi Kirty! I'm so happy that I found you on YT! I recently started a channel because I feel a deep need for talking about being Autistic (I think I'm Audhd). I'ts great finding more people I can relate to. I'm trying to find more people like me. / Isabella

I found this so comforting and relatable. Also where did you get your ghost hoodie? I'm obsessed with ghosts 🙊

Thank you for sharing, it was especially interesting to hear about your relationships with food!! (if it's appropriate to say this, considering you struggle a lot because of it) Because I'm completely the opposite, I adore food and it's my main source of dophamine in life 😅

oh, i 100% understand the anxiety with eating, and know it really doesn't take much to set you on a course of struggling with it. It is attached to literally every single social and work interaction, and it really makes it hard to blend in and be normal with everyone. The anxiety over it doesn't help either as your stomach turns and kills any appetite you might have had and my anxiety seems to heighten my sense of smell that can really turn my stomach if i am not prepared for it. It's just a bad combo all around and i struggled with it for a long time too. It sucks that it is such a vital function of working and social life and you feel so horrible for not being able to participate or find excuses. I am sorry you had to deal with people that weren't supportive over the years, they just don't understand. Eating in front of people i understand too. I am not sure what makes it so weird but just that it seems to come with extra expectations and anxiety that comes with it. Anyway, i hope you are building up some tools and concepts to help. Kudos on being so open with your thoughts, i think that can be so incredibly empowering to just get them out into the world. i know you are early on in your journey but what are your thoughts on masking? like i still can't wrap my head around where it might start and end? what even is a person's natural state if we have built a lifetime of coping mechanisms up to survive.

I am so thankful you shared this and for your willingness to be so vulnerable and open about your diagnosis. I've been following along with your art channel since around 2012? 2013? and have always admired you and your artistic talents. I even had the pleasure of meeting you at an art fair! After hearing about your diagnosis I admire you even more. I've struggled with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) my entire life and wasn't diagnosed formally until I was around 14. It's been an ongoing struggle trying to fit in when it feels like I am completely alone in what I experience. I know that people who have Autism also struggle with SPD, which is why I say I am so relieved - in a way - to hear you talk about your journey with Autism. I know they aren't the same diagnosis, but I still feel like in some ways, I am less alone. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

The "Why didn't my teachers see anything" I relate to - I remember in certain classes it must have been obvious, at one point I remember telling a foreign language teacher that "I physically cannot remember these words" and they put it down to me not trying hard enough and gave me detention. Why didn't they ever question that maybe it's not down to the individual's effort. I fear that this probably still goes on today. Since leaving school I have worked with teachers and I obviously can't speak for them all but considering they are meant to be smart and teaching the next generation... some of them are pretty dumb. I love the "a learned quality from someone else" part... relatable. It's good you have Mr Blue to be your rock <3.

I have just been diagnosed as autistic at 26. It's quite overwhelming but a relief to know why. I also have hEDS and ME/CFS as well as pretty severe anxiety. I am just learning about it and trying to find some support. Thanks, this was a great watch.

Congratulations on getting the diagnosis! I've been following you for a while and was surprised to see this video. I was diagnosed 1.5 years ago too at age 29 and it was a huge relief. I make videos about my experience too to spread awareness about autism. Good luck on your path!

You are brave to keep putting yourself out there and i hope it helps in your journey of healing and growth. The tiktok thing hits home, it's been the first time i ever considered that i don't just have anxiety there could be more at work. Incredible work on your part to do all the leg work of self diagnosis putting all the pieces together, self examining your life and experiences. I hope that has itself been a journey of healing. I am worried if you are feeling alone or treated different. That seems to be a common take away for late diagnosis folks. I know you are surrounded by incredible loving and supportive people to help. But i hope you understand too how your experience is mirrored and relatable for others too. I hope there is some calm in knowing you are validated, understood and able to thrive. I also know we live in a world that is increasable aware of mental health issues and i hope that means everyone is met with understanding and care especially in hard to function workplace and social scenarios that really push the limits. anyway, i am equal parts excited to see your journey as well as interested to hear how you arrived here to learn from. thank you for doing these videos. I really do hope they are helping you.

I’m 33 soon to be 34. I’m on disability and struggle daily. Adhd and autism undiagnosed is very hard to explain to loved ones. I usually don’t tell people I’m disabled. Thank you for sharing your story. I never finished high school and abused alcohol in my 20s trying to cope with social and sensory problems. Meeting neurodivergent friends online will help a lot. Avoid anyone who isn’t validating. They simply don’t get it and probably never will. Neurotypicals can feel like a different species at times but just like they try to understand us we just have to accept their own neurotype. I’ve been on adhd meds since I was little and do they help but side effects are pretty annoying. My boyfriend is neurodivergent so it’s easy living with him.

New house is looking amazing. I have no diagnosis but I belive I have austism too, and I've made this discovery at 25 - You mentioned you had a splash of ADHD, I guess that explains how easy it was to distract you when you streamed hehe. I think the name comes with some misconceptions and negativity but I'm some ways it can really be the opposite as you can do a lot of things that others would struggle to do - I can't spell for example 😂.
