You’ve Always Been This Way is a column written by Taylor Harris, a late-diagnosed neurodivergent woman and 1980s preschool dropout, who identifies every moment from her past that filled her with shame, and mutters, “Yep, that tracks. I see it all now.”

Before 2013, no one could be autistic and have ADHD. Back then, the DSM followed the one-drop rule for neurodevelopmental conditions. Got a touch of the ’tism? It is settled, then. No hyperactivity of the mind for you! It’s a little ironic, this clutching of the binary, considering black-and-white thinking is what neurodivergent folks get dinged for all the time in our society, known for its rich history of embracing nuance and flexibility.

Me, happy and goofy and relaxed at home.
