I'm autistic and have ADHD and honestly it's been rough. I had two kids 18 months apart and I'm a 6th year in BigLaw and I can tell I'm being pushed out. I am great at masking and hyper focusing on tasks so that I seem competent and enough of a "pinch hitter" to survive thus far. But I'm overstimulated 24/7 because I WFH. I'm happy I finally realized I'm autistic with ADHD instead of thinking I have incurable depression and anxiety though.

I’m pretty sure I am.

It’s a mixed bag.
