20F. Diagnosed w/ ADHD and suicidal ideation. My mother is formally diagnosed w/ aspergers, but I am not. Today I suffered from what seemed to be a 'sensory meltdown', suddenly collapsing and hyperventilating for 45 minutes, only getting relief from shutting the lights off or covering my eyes. Although I live a fairly privileged life, I often find daily tasks to be a struggle, often with each motion "dragging on" agonizingly. As a child I was described as "bright, but needing to apply herself."
