About Me
As you can probably work out, I'm Jen Milben. I created this blog as a way to anonymously get my thoughts out and about. Unlike some anonymous writers, I won't be using this blog to spread hate or fear, but rather to be brutally honest about my feelings and the things that happen in my life.
A lot of this blog will be about my adventures through a neurodiverse life in a neurotypical world.
So enough about the blog, let's talk about me. I was assessed by CAMHS for ADHD & ASD (or as it was known then aspergers) as a child. After the assessment, the doctors diagnosed me as a "rigid child". A diagnosis that I don't believe has much medical credibility. I went through school and adult hood as a "rigid child" with my parents and teachers never understanding why I could coast through tests with a pass but never able to revise.
Low and behold, I wasn't a "rigid child", I have ASD & ADHD. I was diagnosed with ASD at 19 and ADHD at 20.
