So true! I have always managed to skate by in life because I’m relatively unremarkable most of the time. I have described my life strategy as being on on a boat full of holes and I constantly run around applying flex tape and scooping water out in buckets to keep it afloat. From afar my boat looks like every other boat in the water, but up close it is constant maintenance to appear somewhat normal. It’s gotten a bit easier to accept the mess after I realized that maybe it’s not entirely my own fault that I struggle with certain things.

And for real, women do get diagnosed far less than men, but it’s getting so much better nowadays. I don’t think I’ll ever be officially diagnosed as I manage pretty okay all things considered. I’m just glad other people who struggle more than me, get the chance to get help.

Also, sorry for the late reply. I had surgery today so I have been a bit out of it. Everything went well, though. I hope you have a lovely day, my friend! ❤️
