    Late Diagnosis: Navigating a Neurotypical World

    Лучшая цитата из Late Diagnosis: Navigating a Neurotypical World

    “

Receiving a late diagnosis allows you to transition from the self-criticism of 'Why can't I just get it together?' to a compassionate understanding of your brain's different processing style.
