i was only diagnosed in my late twenties i always thought adhd was simply just what the hyper kids at school used to have i thought i was just a lazy piece of garbage i guess my parents had the same view i am disappointed that it was never picked up by any of my teachers in school or possibly the neurologist i saw for my frequent childhood migraines   the diagnosis made me feel like i’d found my car keys after searching for 20 years with medication i finally feel like i’m living my life and i often wonder how different things would be if i had been diagnosed much earlier in the past ten years i’ve noticed so much more about mental health in the spotlight which is a huge step in the right direction i hope adhd will follow - i only feel that if my parents knew more about it they would’ve been able to see the signs i don’t blame them at all but i like to think that if i ever have children i know what to look out for
