Yeah, I think that makes sense and I had a lot of similar thoughts when deciding if I wanted to pursue a diagnosis. Ultimately, for me the testing process was super informative, and seeing the strengths and weaknesses laid out so clearly was actually really validating. I think it’s helped me give myself more grace in those areas. I’m technically 2e, so I’m kind of like advanced software running on a sever with insufficient cpu and ram - and, to push the metaphor to its limits, I’ve been overclocking to keep up with my interests for a long time. It’s frustrating when the hard stuff is easy and the easy stuff is hard and you have no idea why. It’s hard not to just expect more of yourself and constantly let yourself down.
