I'm (37 F) that was completely oblivious to my ADHD/Autism up until last month. I mean I have always struggled but been coping with them to the best of my abilities – some of which I had started accepting as flaws in my personality.

Anyway, long story short, it was only recently that a mental health practitioner told me my symptoms were consistent with AuDHD and I should consider getting assessed. Since then I've been learning as much as I can about these conditions and rediscovering myself.

Here's something I realised about myself today. I hate people (especially ones who aren't close to me) touching my stuff. I've always hated when some random relative or kid would come over and start meddling with my toys, books, clothes or whatever. I'm very particular about keeping my things the way I want and only feel comfortable about someone touching them when I'm sure they'll be careful with them. Crazy!

What's something you realised about yourself that you thought was just you but turns out it's your ND brain?
