I am MindBlind
I'm a late diagnosed Autistic woman with ADHD, Aphantasia and a memory disorder called SDAM. This is my neurodivergent journey. I was formally diagnosed at age 42 with Autism & ADHD.
Aphantasia is the inability to voluntarily visualize in your mind's eye. I have five sense aphantasia.
SDAM stands for Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory. Which is a lifelong inability to vividly recollect or re-experience personal past events from a first-person perspective.
Autism - dictionary definition: a developmental disorder of variable severity that is characterized by difficulty in social interaction and communication and by restricted or repetitive patterns of thought and behavior.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development.
