My name is Louise. I was diagnosed with autism in my late forties.
This blog is my journey from late diagnosis, how I navigate the ups and downs of life, and the strategies I use to cope.
I also write about my lifestyle, my life experiences, and raising awareness about neurodiversity.
Autism is a spectrum, and it can look different in each person. This is one way autism can present.

They are both distinct neurodevelopmental conditions, and it’s important to understand them, as they can both be misunderstood.

Final Thoughts
Autism and ADHD are different, but can overlap and occur together. However, we need to understand better so that we can support neurodivergent people as they are, not as we want them to be.
