Chapter 30 My AuDHD Story Part 1: Childhood

Chapter 30 recapping my unexpected Autism and ADHD year: this week I'm looking back at my childhood and the two stories of it which are both true - the happy idealistic adventure story version, and the beginnings of the miserable, isolated locked-in version that both ended up being true.

I had a happy childhood but the foundations of a bit of an unhappy adulthood were definitely laid down in the childhood experiences I had.

AQ Autism Self-Test:
I'm going to keep posting the link to the AQ Self Test for autism every Sunday in case this is the first video in the series people come across. Take the self test (remember it's JUST a self-test) and see how you score. You may have been on the autism spectrum all along and just had no idea, like I was:

ADHD Self-Test:
(with all the same caveats as above) an ADHD self-test. ADHD is even MORE common than autism (and many of us will have both); the vast majority of ADHDers just struggle through from childhood through adulthood having no idea that they even HAVE ADHD, let alone working out strategies to cope and deal with it all better to be happier and less frustrated with ourselves and others.
