For me it’s really like being able to connect with people better than when unmedicated

Unmedicated me is completely turned off by the presence and voices of people but medicated me is the life of the party haha

Like I’m so grateful that I got diagnosed finally but I grieve for the life I could’ve had. I didn’t get diagnosed/medicated until my last semester of college. How far could I have gone? What scholarships could I have gotten? What schools could I have gotten into? What grades could I have achieved? What all did I miss out on because I was too depressed to move? What accommodations could I have utilized? Etc etc etc

It’s VERY similar to glasses, you’re exactly right. I got glasses at ~12 and it changed my life. I’d go a step further and say it’s like if doctors didn’t believe that females could have bad eyesight and therefore no one even thinks to evaluate you until you’ve already crashed your car 15 times

I feel this Life could have been so much different Maybe I wouldn’t have felt so out of place all the time Maybe I could have been normal

I personally never would’ve been normal bcos I’m also autistic but I see where you’re coming from 🫶 I hope we can both recover from the trauma of being undiagnosed and go on to live happy and healthy lives :)

Okay gotcha, yeah I def don’t have expertise in that area I’m sorry 😭 This is mostly irrelevant but my dentist says that alcohol-free mouthwash is much better for dental health and oral hygiene. Doesn’t help w the meds, but I thought I’d share 🤷

I have heard that!!! Like the alcohol dries the mouth out too much or whatever and just causes more bad breath !!
