Well, I just joined Lemmy and found this community. I clicked Neurodivergent and found out I'm Neurodivergent. I had no idea that Dyslexia, social anxiety, trouble with math, and spelling were all part of it. I mean, I always knew I see the world in a different way than most, and I feel special because of that. So hello! and I'm glad I found this community.

I believe a lot of people have no idea. I went for so long thinking my struggles were typical. It's a relief to figure out that things aren't hard because you're incapable but rather need a little help. It's both good and bad, I suppose.
