Hey, I'm new here. I just got diagnosed with adhd and bpd(II).
I've heard it's common for women in our 20's to get misdiagnosed with these things when we're actually autistic, and I suspect that's what's happening to me. I heard about this site on a podcast and I wanted to give it a try. I have never tried a message board like this so I'm not sure where to start, but I'm excited to be trying something new.

Welcome aboard!

Start by familiarizing yourself with The Rules

We are an eclectic group, with many diagnoses, many perspectives, and many different needs.

Most of us are looking for affirmation, while some of us are seeking solutions. Each of us has something to contribute.

Again, welcome aboard!

Welcome to WP! I think you will find some interesting people here...no matter what your diagnosis is or should be.

It took me 64 years to even wonder if I was on the Autism Spectrum (I am!) so I'll just wish you good luck in getting a correct diagnosis. :roll:

welcome, new perspective and insights when we discover our diagnosis. More to sort through as an older adult. Glad you are with us.
