I have to deal with so-called "able" people everyday of my life since forever because they cannot be kind, it seems that there is problem in their head, I guess they should speak to a psychologist, but they prefer bullying people without witnesses.. With Internet, it simply became unreasonable it appears. I feel sorry for the kids growing up nowadays..

Cyberbullying has a long-term negative effect on mental and physical health.

This week, I have discovered something important about myself: I am AuDhd — autistic and ADHD.

A few years ago, close family suggested that I might be autistic. I started to wonder too, but life kept moving and I pushed it aside. Recently, my psychologist recommended a full assessment. I decided it was time to find out.

Now it’s confirmed. I’m officially diagnosed.

It’s life-changing.
It’s a revelation.
It explains so much about who I am and how my brain works.

I finally have answers to the questions I’ve carried for years. Why I think the way I do. Why I experience the world so intensely. Why things that seem “easy” for others cost me so much energy.

I’ve already spent time grieving the parts of my life shaped by misunderstanding — both from others and from myself. This diagnosis doesn’t change who I am. It simply gives me language for it. It makes sense of a lifetime of being “too much,” “too sensitive,” “too intense.”

I’m not broken.
I’m not a failed version of normal.
I’m neurodivergent — and there is strength in that.

I'm still learning what Unmasking for me means, but here are a few things i plan to start doing:

• Asking for clarity instead of masking confusion
• Setting up my life around my brain’s natural rhythms
• Refusing to apologise for my sensory needs
• Speaking plainly about how I experience the world

Getting this diagnosis is not an end. It’s a beginning.

If you’re walking this path too — late-diagnosed, learning who you really are underneath the masks — you are not alone.

We are allowed to exist as we are.

I’m AuDHD.
I’m proud.
I’m building a life that finally makes sense.
