In this short video, Speaker A reflects on receiving a late diagnosis in their 30s, noting that women often experience delayed diagnoses compared to men. They describe how they had unknowingly adopted coping mechanisms before the diagnosis and how the revelation initially made them feel like a child needing to rediscover themselves. As they move beyond that phase, they experience a sense of empowerment, realizing they can shape their own life and purpose. Speaker B briefly affirms this sentiment.

I didn't get diagnosed until I was in my 30s, so late diagnosis here, right? And I think that's true for a lot of women because of how they diagnose people typically moving forward. The guys usually get the diagnoses easier than we do. But that being said, I think that A, I brought along a lot of coping mechanisms I didn't even realize were coping mechanisms before I had the diagnosis. But then you're right, you do feel like, oh my God, I'm a child now because I'm having to rediscover who I am. I am having to rediscover what actually works for me and I can, I could, you could. But once you move past that, this is, this is the beautiful, this is the sweet spot, right? Once you move past the, I'm, I'm a child, and then you start to say, okay, yes, I can write my own outline. Yes, I can plan my own existence on this planet, and I can make the difference I want to make. There is this amazing empowerment that comes from, I made this.
Absolutely.
