Thank you for this. After getting diagnosed at 37, I found myself having to justify my diagnosis to even family. As someone who's ADHD also led to addiction and severe depression, I don't bother arguing anymore. Just getting the diagnosis gave me so much peace and reduced that overall nagging feeling something was wrong. The most common one I got was "aren't we all a little ADHD?". I am really grateful I was diagnosed late because the difficulty I faced is confirmation of my both the diagnosis and my ability to persevere and power through.

Same....it's a pity they think about it that way, especially when they are friends or family but hey, it's their problem🤷

I was diagnosed at 39. I don’t think my family truly understands how hard it’s been. They’ll say things like, “ I was making a sandwich and I got sidetracked because I had to use the bathroom. Maybe I’m adhd too”. It just makes bad sad and upset

Yep. Diagnosed when I was 56, and I was told by a pharmacist that there was no such thing as adults with ADHD.

Great step!

Does anyone else notice that a lot of people who have told them ADHD is a fake disorder, display rather a lot of ADHD symptoms themselves? 😂😂😂

​@@AnnaReed42 that was me! I used to think it was a made-up disorder that people used to get away with things. Turns out I'm myself ADHD and severely struggling...

Need to get diagnosed again. It's really slowing down my life. Dealing with those who don't understand, listen or who just dont shut up about why it's not a real "thing". Ugh

He's not a snake oil salesman when he stays in his lane. He is just very uninformed on ADHD. Silly to blame him for a stigma thats always been around.
