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.

Ahhh 37 for me, my fiance ended up pushing me in the right direction.

Running through a good portion of my life never really being able to get anything done, not going anywhere and just kinda existing.

I hope that your getting treatment, and it's making an impact in a positive way ❤️
