Neurodivergent
Jan 21, 2023
Over the years as I've learned more about ASD and similar neurodivergent spectrums there's been the persistent feeling that this sounds like me... and I had it confirmed for the first time by a professional recently.
I feel...many things. Relieved, upset, mad, but most of all tired. Hopefully now, once I've processed this a bit more, I'll be able to find some help and support that I could have used a long time ago.

I wasn’t diagnosed, but when I appeared to have symptoms of ASD, a teacher and my mother put that label on me without consulting a professional. My therapist said based on my childhood symptoms, it doesn’t actually sound like ASD, but I still need to figure out what causes me to be slightly quirky (possible ADHD). Either way, just because I might be neurodivergent doesn’t mean I should be less valid as an ace as well. Regardless, I know whether I get accepted or not once I’m out as an aro-ace, thanks to this comic and confirming it in my own head, it isn’t something that needs to be cured. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, either, whatever your situation.
