@dexterfrankenstein: Replying to @Wendy Neurodivergent skill regression is absolutely terrible. If you are a late diagnosed neurospicy person who is dealing with it, hang in there. 🩵 #neurospicy #audhd #latediagnosedautistic #latediagnosisadhd
I feel so stupid. It's been 5 years since my diagnosis for Autism and my brain is just useless. I can't retain things anymore like I used too 🥲

I lost a 15 year career in information technology to a skill regression after the last3 years. I’ve been sitting in my house and I can’t clean anything. It’s getting worse and I didn’t even connect that to skill regression and it makes it makes me feel a little better cause at least at least I can connect it with something and it’s not just depression. 😭😭😭😭😭 this is the most devastating. In my life and I’ve had to just give up and trying to get those skills back cause it’s too hard.

yes. it does suck. but the skills you use get replaced by really cool ones. I went from being a wood worker in my off time to being a writer which I always wanted but never had the courage to do.

I shouldn't struggle to remember what food is, and then resent having to put it in my mouth.

Having autistic kids led to my diagnosis, which led to my unmasking journey. Now I get to relearn how to be an adult. Yay 🥹

it's like when you're trying not to get sick, you catch a cold, and the moment you admit you got a cold, THATS when it really hits

Do you have a job outside of content? Can you speak to how to manage living independently?

I absolutely thought I was losing my mind - going from a professor and department chair to having to remind myself to eat was horrible. Menopause + late diagnosed ADHD + a burnout took me OUT.

When unmasking makes you realize how hard you masked to fit into the world. 🫠

I had both diagnosis at the same time. My skill regression showed up as :- driving my car and I lost by an ability to use computers. It was fucking bad. However, once I said to my self :- I am Dyslexic, ABHD and Autistic - things quietened down. Now I can drive and make my computer dance. My thoughts are - don’t

I cut everyone off, I can’t decipher shapes from one another (I’m a sorting machine normally) I need naps (never have I ever before) I’m just not myself and I’m worried I’m not coming back. It’s impacting my career and my bottom line. I’m stuck
