S3 E12 - Late diagnosis grief: the relief and the rage of ADHD and autism.

from Glitchy Switch: What ADHD feels like to an adult. · host Martin Gale

In this episode of Glitchy Switch, I talk about something that’s been sneaking in behind all the relief of late diagnosis: grief. Late diagnosis can bring relief — and then a wave of grief for the years you lived without the manual. Here’s what that grief actually is, why it shows up after things improve, and what helps me live with it without losing the joy. In this episode: Why feeling better now can unexpectedly trigger grief about the years before. The anger that can come from realising how long you spent sat on rails that didn’t fit. What I mean when I say this isn’t about wisdom. Why art and creativity have become the sharpest reminder of what I missed. How I’m holding the tension and moving through it.
