If you’re concerned I think you should consider getting it checked out (or at least browse the ADHD communities to see if there are any other patterns you can spot).

I recently got diagnosed with autism at ~30. I’ve lived my entire life under the impression that I’m ok, only to realize I’ve never really been ok.

    Very good of you to offer kindness.

    I would say more along the lines of: You are a valid human being and hold intrinsic value for who you are, regardless of diverging from typical neurological ranges.

    Much more verbose but, as someone not diagnosed with ADHD until my 30s (and ASD on top of that), I've learned that coping and masking in a society that generally tries to only give room for neurotypical people is inherently traumatic - being "different" and having trouble doing things that those around you have no bother with and having no idea why really fucks you up.
