Growing up undiagnosed made me mean and negative as hell. I remember thinking that if I was an asshole 1st, it would protect me from being targeted. I also thought it was normal to be such a jerk because I was abused and isolated by my peers since I started school. I really regret behaving in such an ugly way. I try not to blame my caregivers, but lately I’ve been thinking about how a childhood diagnosis would’ve prevented me from being so awful. It might’ve even prevented the bullying I experienced, because no one in my school picked on the disabled kids. Do any other late-diagnosed people have a similar experience?
