Totally agree with all of that! I’m nearly fifty and got diagnosed with ADHD about five years ago. I got expelled from school at 15 for just never showing up.

Totally agree with all of that! I’m nearly fifty and got diagnosed with ADHD about five years ago. I got expelled from school at 15 for just never showing up. Despite being one of the smartest kids in school, I would do so well I a new class and then it would tank badly. I’ve never held a job for more than 18 months. I’ve had the benefit of being a well spoken good looking white man that interviews like a god and is very good at writing a resume, plus I had good people in my corner giving me excellent references. In a booming job market, getting work was easy enough. But my life was going off the rails. Depression. Risk taking behaviour. Anti social issues and so on. Saw a GP for serious cyclical depression issues. I was self medicating with caffeine and flu meds. She said have you considered you might have ADHD? I hadn’t considered it all. Got referred to a specialist. He said it’s very hard to get diagnosed with ADHD later in life. 90 minutes later after my life history we started a trial on Ritalin! Overall - ADHD is a curse. It’s not a super power. And Ritalin, Adderall etc… are not miracles. I could write a book on my experiences….
