    I wish they would stop this:

    ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders affecting children and young adults, with about 10% of young people between the ages of 3 and 17 diagnosed with the condition.

    What about women and inattentives who are usually diagnosed way into adulthood???

    This makes it sound curable, temporary or like it only impacts young people.

      Diagnosed at 29. I swear if anyone had paid any attention to me I wouldn’t have gotten this far with masking.

        I read my (dementia/alzheimers) mother’s journals and they were full of “she’s just so angry” and “I don’t understand why her room is so messy” and “She’s lazy and won’t help with the family business, but I would have been happy to as a teenager.”

        I’m like damn mom you were never given language to actually understand me.

        Even my sister to this day goes: “Well now that you know you have it you can just come up with strategies to overcome it.” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
