Y'all I'm so sorry if I do anything wrong here or if I'm not supposed to "create this page?" I honestly have no idea what I'm doing; I've never used a Wiki before (but I really like it so far! The formatting is so intuitive lol) Anyway I wanted to like explain myself lol. Hi I'm on Twitter as @kateapnp Sorry I keep getting so hyperfocused on writing stuff. I have insane time blindness related to ADHD... I think I have been working on this wiki for the last 5 hours lol. I am just really excited about it because I've literally thought for so long that something like this could be really helpful for people. I've already learned helpful things from reading the other pages people have written! I'm in my 20s, I was diagnosed with ADHD 3 years ago and then discovered I was autistic. I have other mental health comorbidities which I believe resulted from the trauma (bullying, etc.) I faced due to being undiagnosed. But I actually believe I was really lucky in a lot of ways, and privileged, and I was able to recently get my masters degree and just became a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I have also worked as a psychiatric nurse and in mental healthcare settings for 5 years now. So I kind of have a dual perspective of sorts, as a mental health provider with lived experience. Anyway, thanks for starting this project! I am excited about continuing to contribute.... if that's okay hehe. Here is a link to my little thread of tweets about the Wiki :) https://twitter.com/kateapnp/status/1561825341513031681?s=20&t=K3lQsk5XKTzL7wJuZGOtiQ
