There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Fellow Canadian here and I wouldn't have survived university without my ADHD diagnosis. It unlocks all sorts of special accommodations and services that the school will provide which can help a lot of you are bad at taking tests. Not too mention medication.
As for accessing therapy, it can be helpful to tell a therapist that you are diagnosed with something so that they can tailor the work they do with you.
Lastly, my ASD diagnosis was literally life-changing. I only got it a couple years ago and it helped me go from socially awkward late-20s virgin to a confident guy with a girlfriend. Because as you said it makes you much more aware of what your weaknesses are if you can get that external validation from a professional.
