How many of you MSers are neurodivergent?

I'm a mum to 2 neuro-spicy kids and I've always thought there was something spicy about me too. Since having my first relapse at the back end of 2024, I am even more convinced that I need to finally get tested. I have spent my whole life packing my time with activities, hobbies, interests, and advocating for others (including my kids). My relapse happened at a point where life caved in and my emotions were tested to the max when fighting for the support for my children. The very DAY everything was in order and I decided to focus on getting back to a state of calm I collapsed, having multiple seizures over 3 months. Now I'm living a very slow life with a lot less energy than before and I go from feeling exhausted to mentally underestimated. I'm constantly searching for my next dopamine hit from doing something meaningful but I just can't physically do it anymore. Or at least I can't do it in the way I used to. Im wondering if I am indeed diagnosed with ADHD/autism or both, if there would be something that can help me to exist with my new pal MS in tow? Does this resonate with anyone? Does anyone have an answer? Asking for a friend... Lol Asking for me 😎

Funnily enough and ex just to call me autistic James as a joke and a woman I spoke to today asked if I had autism. I think I am neurodicergent but not sure on a type. Maybe everyone is like this 🤷

Yeah, everyone is in one way or another. It's this stage of realising that what I thought looked like thriving was a ticking time bomb and now I feel a bit lost 😅
