| My son isn't dx but he's very "Aspie" -- like off the charts. He's thinking about going for assessment but it costs so much he's deciding if it's worth it. As someone who attended college way back when, I’d say it’s almost 50-50 on whether a diagnosis enables you to tap into enough extra ... |

| During Covid, I learned that a “wetting incident” is much less noticeable if I’m wearing dark pants. I took long walks, like 4 or 5 miles. And even though I had a bottle for peeing into in my car, sometimes I just couldn’t make it back [like every couple of weeks] And yes, it’s much less noticeable ... |
