Thought I'd get the ball rolling as this is empty!

I'm neamhsplach, I'm undiagnosed but I'm being screened for possible ADHD and/or dyspraxia because of some issues I've had with work.

I love Taskmaster and never miss an episode of The Blindboy Podcast. Looking forward to chatting to you all!

Parent of a kindergarten aged kid on the spectrum here. Undiagnosed myself, but there are lots of parallels between what my kid is going through and what I experienced as a child, so I have a strong suspicion that I'm likely neurodivergent as well. I intend to mostly follow the community for the sake of my kid to ensure that as a parent I'm doing the best possible to allow them to thrive.

Even you being aware is a huge step forward :) My father was in the same position but he wasn't aware of ASD and leaned on me pretty hard to mask. He is great person but I've struggled with being myself as an adult.
