I was diagnosed in my late thirties, two years ago. The diagnosis rocked my world. On the one hand, I struggle with the diagnosis. Everything I read about ADHD felt like a horoscope. To me, it seems everyone will recognize at least parts of the symptoms. People often respond by saying "Oh yeah, I got that too". I have a firm belief everyone is responsible for their actions and, ADHD seems like an excuse. And I don't want to have excuses. On the other hand, I have taken Ritalin -I stopped when we COVID forced us to work from home- and it helped. A cloud was lifted. Also, I don't longer try to fight and apologize for all the little sounds that make me go bananas.
