They said, it's like I've given an instruction manual to my brain.
Yes.
So...
I often tell patients, you've been blaming your character for what is actually your wiring.
And when they fully understand that, they move from a place of self-loathing and self-criticism to understanding awareness and self-compassion.
And that's when the work can really begin.
When you've had a lifetime of forgotten appointments, missed deadlines, struggles with education,
struggles with employment, struggles in relationships.
Every facet of your life has been a struggle.
It's an understandable conclusion that you're going to feel like you're fundamentally flawed or something's wrong with you because why are other people not struggling the way you are?
On top of that, you get given all these labels.
So when you're younger, you get labeled by your teachers as lazy, bright but not meeting your potential, careless, overly talkative, for some people very disruptive, for other people actually very socially anxious and they don't say anything at all.
you feel misunderstood, right?
That's what people feel like.
And that's one of the earliest memories when they're neurodivergent for many patients.

Maybe you're not just smart enough.
Maybe you're not good enough.
Maybe you're just not enough.
