• I didn't know I was neurodivergent until I was 37 year old.
• I only found out after taking my son to get diagnosed.
• I appear to be an organized person, I spend hours mapping my day and running to do lists in my head.

As a special educator working with neurodiverse students for a decade, I didn't realize I was neurodivergent myself until I was 37.

My son always had high energy compared to his siblings...
