Fist bump for "mother's outdated psych textbooks"! Mine were about what I guess we'd call now atypical and neurodivergent child development. Lots of use of the R word. ๐ฌ
Also, I'm glad you figured yourself out, or are on the path to it (it's a journey and I'm not sure how to know when it's done). From experience: life is more comfortable when you're not trying to fit yourself into a box of the wrong shape, even if politics makes it wicked scary, at least you're not fighting your own brain as much.
As someone slightly older than you: don't forget your stretches and exercises. Sunscreen is your friend. (All that's supposed to be reassuring and friendly)
