I'm in the UK and was diagnosed at age 31 - ADHD was barely recognised as a thing for kids when I was at school and if I hadn't met two adults with it during my 20s I'm not sure I'd have ever sought out my diagnosis - and that process wasn't particularly simple. There were definitely years spent afterwards unrolling maladaptive coping strategies I'd developed, and I've just had six teeth out leaving me with less than half of what I should have, so definitely use reminders to brush, it's super-easy to forget. PS. I've been on Ritalin (the Concerta XXL slow-release) for a decade now and it's a life-changer. The first time I woke up in the morning and remembered what it was I'd been thinking I needed to do before I went to bed was amazing.
