Late diagnosis and employment

Growing up, I didn’t reach my developmental milestones. My worried parents took me to see a psychologist. After the assessment, she told my parents I’d never be able to write my own name or tie my shoelaces – had she asked, she would have known that I could already write my name. Needless to say; my parents were put off seeking help for a while after that. I wasn’t given much help in school, as there were more ‘problematic’ students.
