I was diagnosed with ADHD in 1998 and with ASD just last summer based on school records and reports from the mid 1970âs. In other words, I have been neurodivergent all my life but the medical system failed to properly diagnose me until recently.
We donât have a sudden surge in autism. We finally have a system that is starting to realize it has failed âhighly functionalâ autistics, mislabeling them lazy, difficult, antisocial, problematic instead of providing them with the developmental support they need and deserve.

There's a number of licensed medical professionals who have said you shouldn't make claims about historical people who have not been professionally diagnosed having ADHD or autism, while I understand their reasoning I think it's perfectly valid to point out those traits in figures from history because it helps shine a light on the fact that lack of diagnosis is totally unrelated to one's ability to have ADHD or autism. Or to state it differently a lack of a name for it doesn't mean that the issues and traits associated exist and have existed for ever

What you said about those with neurodivergence finally having the language to express what theyâre experiencing hits so close to home for me. I was diagnosed a decade ago during my senior year in college and even then, there were NO resources available for adults/young adults with autism (Iâm sure what I was searching up at the time was Aspergerâs resources, since I believe my diagnosis came the summer before it was folded into autism spectrum disorder) Every online resource I found was directed at parents of autistic children and I basically had to just skim through things and find what I could apply to my life as an adult. Itâs been such a blessing the past few years to see the surge in content from neurodivergent adults and to slowly gain a language for all the things that Iâd figured out were tied to my autism but hadnât ever had the words for.

Very late diagnosed Boomer here. Itâs worth noting that Aspergerâs wasnât added to the DSM until I was in my thirties, and even ADD wasnât added until I was partway through grade school. So there really wasnât any way I was likely to get diagnosed back then. My mother also kept me away from psychiatrists, and it may be well that she did at that time.
That I got diagnosed at all occurred after I crashed seriously in my late fifties, and I have since learned that a lot of people my age have had similar experiences. So yes, the alleged âboomâ is a serious misreading of available statistics. Itâs like saying dinosaur bones didnât exist prior to paleontologists discovering them.
But as a Boomer, I also have to say that environmental factors could play a role in neurological outcomes. Iâm pretty sure that I had excess levels of lead exposure when I was young, which was before routine testing was done. Iâve seen a study that suggests that lead in gas created a substantial number of âexcessâ cases of ADHD in earlier generations, including mine. Neurodivergence is heavily genetic, but heritability involves both the genes people have and how they express. And autism tends to come with comorbidities. I doubt that environmental insults âmakeâ a person autistic, but they might make the an autistic person less neurologically healthy. So itâs a valid question. The Parkinsonâs belts demonstrate how this might be so.
Vaccines are a convenient scapegoat though. They create the illusion of personal control: if that were the problem, scared parents can imagine that by choosing not to vaccinate, they are âprotectingâ their child. But guess what? The environmental insults that are actually known to cause health issues are pollutants that we canât avoid, like PFAs and pesticides. To protect ourselves against those, weâd have to regulate pollutants better, which might affect the profit margins of large corporations. And I say that as a Boomer who never saw a deep blue sky until a few years after the Clean Air Act passed.

Late dx: I know this is genetic, I also know I'm sensitive to almost all environmental factors. All that being said ND runs on both sides of my family. We're all high functioning, and for me in particular; I'm prone to burnout, I tend to push myself past physiological response (it's what I was taught, gen x) ~ it's hard to unlearn.

I really rely on you both. Thank you for making these videos. I was finally diagnosed this year, at age 43 (female). No one would listen to me. I was always scolded as being 'sensitive ' by family and bullied in school, so I shut up, believed the lies I was told, and took abuse to 'fit in' (even though I actually DO have family members with rooms decorated with trains!) I'm DONE taking it. I am not eloquent in speech, but I excel in the written word. I was never heard and easily ignored. Thank you for creating more language to explain. Keep going, cuz 'They' still don't get it.

I love y'all! I'm 46, just got diagnosed about a year ago. Now, I look at my life, at ME, and I think, "How did I not know???" I'm SO ADHD, with sensory issues. My hubby is SO Autistic and OCD. I read a comment once that said I'm another ADHDer with my Emotional Support Autistic... Lol. I love Social Media, for helping me see myself, and feel seen and understood. Thank you!
