    This was one several things I’ve seen throb this community that made me, eventually, do a test. Turns out I’ve got adhd, just went undiagnosed my whole life, was called hyper active, was told not eat certain foods with e numbers in the 80’s, not drink coke (caffeine), I’ve a follow up doctors appointment, but being nearly 50 and only figuring this out now, is been a real mind fuck, positive feeling though

      Yeah, I’m in my 40s and just now being tested. Based on the one test I did, it seems I probably have it. If I do it will explain a lot of my struggles, but thinking about all that lost time being untreated is gonna tear me up a bit. I always heard ADHD was one of those made up illnesses and all boys are hyper, and I believed that for a long time.

        I’m 41. Was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 31. It took like 10 minutes to get diagnosed and I bet anyone could get the designation as an adult.
