What else is affecting you?
When so much of life is governed by sensory overwhelm, it’s tempting to look only for biological stressors.

“As usual, excellent stuff from Heather. This is a gold mine for autists.”
You finally understand why everything has been so hard, but knowing you're Autistic or AuDHD hasn't made the hard parts go away.
