I'm really nervous about it all. I am very confident that I have both ADHD and autism but the negative voice in my head keeps telling me I'm faking it. I spent the past several hours writing out a completely incoherent document that roughly follows my life story to help communicate my experiences tomorrow. There's no way in hell I'd be able to do this without any kind of notes.For reference, I'm a trans woman who went her entire life so far undiagnosed but has had both family members and teachers try to convince my parents to get me evaluated. I developed a large amount of shame around my mental health and only recently allowed myself to even consider the possibility that the difficulties I experience in life are not just "things everyone else deals with" and that my difficulty overcoming them may not have been because I am a complete failure.Words of encouragement are much appreciated.Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm 22. via /r/AutismTranslated https://ift.tt/2G8ZNda
