Mom just found out

So I’ve not told my mother that I’m AuDHD yet as she was dead set against the possibility. I told her there was a possibility a month ago but she insisted it wasn’t possible, just ADHD overlap with some Autistic traits. This made me sad as her understanding means a lot to me.

Well, last night out of the blue she texts me “Well. That was an interesting side trip.” And I asked what she was talking about as we were on a topic that made this statement feel out of place.

So then she landslide texts me and basically in a round about way say she found out she is AuDHD….

I told her then that I was too and that I found out a few weeks ago. We spent the rest of the night comparing experiences and just connecting all over again. It’s a strange thing to be happy about I suppose, but I feel so relieved. 😌
