I recently learned that things I always struggle with are actually symptoms of my neurodiversity.
I've been accommodating myself all my life without realising it, like only taking on freelance work for two decades, avoiding deadlines, getting burned out after working 20 hours per week, sometimes struggling to even work 3 hours in a day.
It's been great to discover I'm not alone.. In the past, when I told colleagues about this, I'd get crazy looks and feel like I'm a loser or lazy or something.
