    I want to say (cuz I’ve said it a million times) that it can seem like occurrences are going up when really, people like me never got help. I didn’t get diagnosed until I was 34 and that was while getting treatment for depression!

    There’s a lot more cases like mine than we know about, so even if we are only catching up to the “normal” number of neurologically atypical people, it’s going to seem like we are gaining more cases.
