For years, I sorted my traits and life experiences which pointed to my neurodivergence on my phone. When I began preparing for the diagnostic process, what emerged was this document template of traits, charted across the lifespan (and which I filled with almost 8,000 words)!

Feel free to use and adapt this template for personal use and preparation. Good luck and congratulations, for choosing greater self-understanding and compassion. Whether you access and receive a professional diagnosis or not, self-diagnosis is valid and important. As are you!
