MCV 30 Under 30 2021 
I feel like my whole life is this dance of being quiet because people won’t get me, slowly getting comfortable, eventually revealing my true self, then backing off again when once again the real me was Too Much.

I think a lot of that guarding/self-policing comes from the 'corrective' comments etc. as ND's grow up. I saw somewhere that ADHD kids receive 20,000x negative comments during childhood over positive - that must have a huge effect on the 'police' part of your brain (it does mine)
‘Chatterbox’... ‘disruptive’... ‘in her own world’... (which of course later turned into people thinking I was stupid and wouldn’t do well/amount to anything)

It's amazing how many negative words are used to describe children who differ in a school setting... such a formative stage filled with so much unnecessary self-doubt! I think it's worth knowing just to stop a lot of those doubts. Post-diag I can forgive myself a lot more.

Absolutely. It’s also critical that we have empathy for ourselves, especially our younger selves. Little me didn’t get much socialisation early on and just got way too overexcited by the prospect/in the company of prospective friends. Still the case
