Hi, I'm Sophie, a late-diagnosed (at 23ish, when I saw a thread on Disability Twitter that made me go :scratch: and do the research that led to self-advocating for and receiving an official diagnosis) AuDHDer. I've been in autistic burnout since a year before then, and am hitting the 7th year of it now. After lots of very definitely healthy avoidance (/s), I'm trying to unmask, thus the post subject :jester: It's nice to meet you!

Also, a quick question: I never received a confirmation email for this account. Should I be concerned?

Welcome to WP! It's nice to meet you.

When I created my WP account I received one e-mail confirming my username and with a link to my profile. It was nice to get the confirmation that my account existed but your account clearly exists, whether you got such an e-mail, or not.

I didn't receive one either and I am over 8,000 post so far. I do not think this site gives confirmation emails.

Apparently confirmation emails from this website have been sketchy for a long time, according to the admin who has mentioned this elsewhere.
