Like many females on the autism spectrum, we are often mis-diagnosed early in life with other neurodivergent conditions, such as ADHD or bipolar disorder. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in my 20s but it wasn't until I was 53 that I was finally diagnosed with Level 1 Autism, formerly known as Asperger's Syndrome. This is the story of my life from the perspective of a little preschool girl who nobody knew how to handle, to a school-age girl who was the smartest, and most talkative, and most disruptive kid in the class, to a blooming teenage singer and writer, to the mental illness of adulthood, and through to my autism diagnosis in middle age.
