Ha! That’s exactly how I felt reading the article. Spent the better part of 40 years wondering why I felt different and was struggling with things like friendships and relationships that seemed so natural to others. Finally got a late diagnosis and felt relieved that I could now start to find the tools to manage it, but no, seems this thing has LAYERS, like an ogre!
