@catieosaurus: the hard hitting journalism of "oops we forgot women existed when we were originally studying this disorder and now the entire foundation of our understanding of ADHD is collapsing because it turns out its not just fidgety seven year old boys" #adhdinwomen #womenwithadhd #adhddiagnosis #adhdprobs
I got straight A's...never studied, did projects last minute, and all my report cards said exemplary student but talks entirely too much.

Because I got A’s. That’s it. I got A’s in school therefore no one knew I was suffering

I was 27. Straight A’s, overachiever, avid reader. Never had to study until college. Boom, no attention span for the studying I never had to do before.

So we’re all just burnt out? My parents can’t understand how I went from high achieving and super motivated and it was like I hit a brick wall.

Diagnosed at 36. I would have loved to know in high school when I was drowning in shame for being “so smart” but “not applying myself”

Emma L. :
It took a global pandemic for all of my coping mechanisms to fail to get a diagnosis (34 years old). If I had known earlier I would have been SO MUCH kinder to myself rather than seeing everything as a personality flaw!

You read the title of the article and I literally said out loud “probably because we all start to crash and burn around middle age from never having the support we needed🥲”
