I was diagnosed last year, age 41. I think back to one of my earliest memories, where someone took me out of 2nd grade class to give me tests in some big closet or boiler room. I am convinced I was diagnosed at that time with at least ADHD, but my mom didn’t believe in mental health treatments despite desperately needing them herself. She’s dead so I can’t ask her what those tests were about.
I visited my first psychiatrist this year and told him I have concerns that I was adhd.
I shit you not a fucking Dr of psychiatry told me that was very unlikely because they would’ve caught it when I was a child.
Fucking moron.
