After 34 years of wondering what's wrong with me and the constant struggle to fit in with the 'normal' people, I learned last year that my brain is a mishmash of Autism, ADHD and complex trauma. Today I got the official diagnosis validating my life experience. #AutismAcceptance
Talked to a neurosurgeon in Gorakhpur, UP about his experience treating women from rural areas. And his efforts to help make their lives better.

@Full_Meals Agree with you! My first international transit was through Singapore Airport and had no clue. Somehow a kind stewardess came out of nowhere and asked me whether I was lost. I didn't even know I was disabled back then and if it was not for that person I would've missed flight.
Nonsense. Bangalore is on its way to becoming a fit city because... wait training. We wait for the metro to open, we wait for underpasses & flyovers, we wait for rains & then we wait for the water to recede. But most importantly, we wait for the traffic to move. Every single day.
saw a tiktok that said “people with adhd don’t fall asleep, they pass out” and this is why it’s so hard to be both adhd and autistic because i don’t have the energy to tire myself out so i will be tired all day but then not be able to sleep at night !!!
