I think that I might be ASD and maybe have ADHD even, but as far as I know there's no way to get diagnosed as an adult in my country (and even if there is I'm really afraid of being brushed off or misdiagnosed because "you can't have it cuz you're not a kid")
And because of that my Imposter syndrome is screaming at me that I just pretend to have it and I'm constantly so stressed because of it qwq

ok thanks i just really needed to get this out of my system and it's not like i can talk to anyone about this

Read and watch dsm5 break downs they're what Canada uses to diagnose for most mental health issues. Page Lely has a good video that goes over the autism criteria. Don't just watch one video or read one article. Self diagnosis is long even long than clinical diagnosis. It's been 2 years and I'm still not 100% sure. And that's with my biological dad saying he got diagnosed. You will always feel like you're unsure that's completely normal.
OH IS THAT IMPOSTOR SYNDROME?? I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS A WORD FOR THAT THANK YOU I GET TJAT SO OFTEN WITH BEING AROACE

I’m really sorry you feel that way, I really hope you can get it sorted out in the future
