      Often wondered, and I know they’re not the same as the real deal but online assessments always tell me I’m not 🤷

        It’s such a sliding scale. I never thought I had until my son was diagnosed and I said “wait he gets a lot of this from me.” So I got diagnosed at 40. Hindsight I very clearly self-medicate with copious amounts of tea.

        Also explains the drug abuse when I was younger, and the failed relationships.

        Only thing I’m still working on is the relationships. I’m shit with them. Self sabotage constantly.
