Hello,
I feel I am an adult who has been undiagnosed since childhood.
As a child I was forever running into things, all tasks were hard for me. Falling over, sometimes seriously hurting myself. I'll always remember a attack coming on as a child. All noises would all of a sudden become really loud and disturbingly strange. I'll always remember thinking to myself oh no here we go. I never got diagnosed unfortunately so grew up struggling. Even up until today. 33.
It has effected every job. Anxiety added to the feeling of not been able to perform normal simple tasks. My sense of direction is horrendous, I can't read a map, I feel like every little daily task is usually a draining minefield. Forever knocking things over, dropping stuff.
Just put it down to been dumb and bit simple. However I am rather smart in alot of ways. Academically I'm bad. Can never get my head around learning so give up. I've learned to adapt best way I can but obviously I'm only human and this contact struggle with life has had a huge impact on my mental health. I do find relationships difficult too. Even one with my patents is not great but that is how it is. Has anyone been through same and found peace and happiness. I'm starting to feel like I'm a lost cause for this life
