It took me nearly 40 years to get evaluated for adhd. Once I was diagnosed, it was discovered my adhd was in the top 2% of severity. I started non stimulant medication and it was changed my life. If I had gotten diagnosed when younger it would have a huge impact on my life l. I would have gotten further in my career and who knows what else. Instead I was just told to suck it up and work harder, which I did. But it wrecked havoc on me and my self worth. I hat to work 4 times as hard to get half of far, with people totally misunderstanding me. I would like to invite you to read my own experiences with it here
