I'm a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD (AuDHD) man — I received my diagnosis at 36 from a psychologist who is also self-disclosed autistic. Working with someone who shared that experience made a real difference in my own process of self-discovery and acceptance, and it's part of why I do this work now.
