OCD/AuDHD wreaks havoc on my executive function, and was left untreated for so long that my life is now falling apart.

I'm insufferable for completely different reasons.

Same. Despite plenty of signs, my parents refused to accept that I could even be slightly autistic (due to the stigma of it I guess?) and that my obvious ADHD needed any sort of treatment other than being pulled out of school, isolated at home, and not allowed to eat TONS of things.

I now have to deal with pretty bad social anxiety and a lot of trouble having vocal conversations with people I am not extremely comfortable with. Sure, I would have likely struggled with these things anyway, but I'd probably be a lot more comfortable socializing if I had been able to learn and grow among my peers during my developmental years.
