Yeah, during the process of diagnosing my youngest, I chatted up one of the doctors, and she was telling me about how certain professions are packed with neurodivergent people, who are more qualified than the typicals.
The BBC is given rare access to MI5 HQ in London, to meet a neurodivergent intelligence officer.
Intel worker suffering from burnout discovers he is neurodivergent. Interesting read.
I always knew I was different, but it was only at 33 that someone suggested I might have it (I was getting myself checked out after my father passed), so I talked to a doctor about it a couple of times but never truly did all the tests.
It took me having both kids diagnosed to go through the entire process to get my diagnosis (same as the kids, unsurprisingly), and I cannot avoid cursing myself at 33 for not doing it sooner. Everything I learned in the 10+ years between both things could have made that period a bit smoother, using all the tools and techniques I have acquired since.
First post here, coincidentally I stumbled on this image and I quite liked it because it is precisely what I do to my kids and myself.
Also, just got in here, so hello everyone.
