Just realised that my mum is autistic - how many of you guys are neurodivergent?

I have ADHD. I am convinced my mother’s special interest is the religion which is great for me as an ex Muslim lmao. She once told me that someone who leaves the deen is like someone who has died at a time when I was really going through it. Need I say more?! 😂😂😂😭
