Hi, I am just learning about adult ADHD. I was diagnosed at 62 years old. I have struggled my entire life with normal neurotypical learning and have failed in the process. I always thought I was just dumb and lazy. Thank you for helping us understand our situations.

Hi. Thank you for that article. Oddly relate to it, but diagnosed Autistic, at 42 (now 44). Understand ADHD is common in Autistics also. Parent told in childhood, that the ADD (as termed then) they said I had, would just be grown out of.. from research, that's not the case. Lots of burnt roads, lots of debt.. how do you start over? How do you rebuild, everything? Resources for adults is non existent from what I've experienced so far. Thanks again..
