autism

<p>2025 var väldigt mycket ett år att upptäcka mina nya möjligheter, till följd av diagnoser och medicin som verkligen hjälper.</p><p>Så idag 1 januari 2026 taggar jag och lanserar mig själv som <a href="/tags/thomas_v2/" rel="tag">#Thomas_v2</a> 🏷️ </p><p>Mål nu är att använda mina nya möjligheter så smart och vardagslivsförbättrande som möjligt.</p><p>Hur bra jag lyckas kommer bli intressant upptäcka genom året som kommer.</p><p><a href="/tags/adhd/" rel="tag">#ADHD</a> <a href="/tags/autism/" rel="tag">#Autism</a> <a href="/tags/möjligheter/" rel="tag">#Möjligheter</a> <a href="/tags/vardagslivet/" rel="tag">#Vardagslivet</a></p>

<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@autistics" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>autistics</span></a></span> </p><p> This caught my attention. I don&#x27;t know how accurate these figures are. Not without access to the original research to assess it. But if these are in any way close, then bloody hell. I&#x27;ve always been of the opinion that the majority of adults weren&#x27;t diagnosed in one way or another. But these sorts of figures were surprising. In any case, it is good to see something like this in mainstream media and the consequences of it, being discussed.</p><p><a href="/tags/autism/" rel="tag">#Autism</a> <br><a href="/tags/actuallyautistic/" rel="tag">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <br> <br><a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/autism-diagnosis-over-40-britain-b2816046.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.independent.co.uk/news/health/autism-diagnosis-over-40-britain-b2816046.html"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.independent.co.uk/news/hea</span><span class="invisible">lth/autism-diagnosis-over-40-britain-b2816046.html</span></a></p>
