And that can be really damaging because if there's a parent who doesn't want to kind of understand themselves in that way and thinks there's, you know, there's a kind of, like I say, there's defence against it, then obviously not only... are they going to struggle to then acknowledge and understand their child? But also there's then this kind of learning that there's something wrong.

But also there's then this kind of learning that there's something wrong.

You know, we're going back to that shame again, really, aren't we? That actually there's something wrong if my parent doesn't want to you know, is struggling, then with that, then there must be something wrong with it. And if I'm experiencing that, then there's something wrong with me too. So, yeah, it is tricky. But, I mean, a lot of families on the flip side, you know,

they it's either quite often that they're they're understanding their child and they're going for an assessment with a child and they're like oh you know light bulbs are going off we have that with parents all the time and that's brilliant i think um you know and i think that that's does happen a lot um and i think that's really super nice for that to happen

Yeah. So tomatoes, the fruit that doesn't belong in a fruit salad.

And so you see tomatoes. They don't belong in there. Fruit, they don't belong in fruit salad. But they're often hanging out with the vegetables. But they're not accepted. They're not accepted there either. They're not a vegetable. So they don't belong anywhere. And that is such a common thing that women... say to us at the very, very beginning of their, their journey.

And I think that's been a reason for the late diagnosis, well, one reason for the late diagnosis, because it's like, I'm, I don't fit with, you know, the kind of autistic community and I don't fit with the ADHD community. I don't belong anywhere. And that's been a, and, and actually I, That's because all DHD is a, I think it's a third, it's a thing of its own, really.
