Is there any neurodivergent mamas of neurodivergent children on here??

I’ve been starting with a clean slate of having to make friends again. Since I was diagnosed (confirmed adhd and 80% sure I’m also autistic), I’ve done an immense amount of unmasking and I just want some friends who understand. It’s so exhausting finding myself masking in every social interaction as a defense mechanism. It would also be nice if I could find another mama who understands what it’s like raising an autistic child. I don’t have any friends.

I've got ocd and my husband is cloth autistic and has adhd. Our daughter is already showing many signs of being neuro-spicy. We are having an evaluation done sooner then later. It's hard to find moms who aren't in shame spirals about this stuff. I'm here!
