I wish they would stop this:
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 ❤️
