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.

Make sure to take care of your mental health during and after the diagnosis. No matter how insignificant the diagnosis may seem it is very likely to have at least some impact sometimes lasting a few months

Sounds very familiar, I'm doing my best to just take it as what can I do from here and not dwell on the past, lying if I said I don't spend any time contemplating the what ifs.

That's a good outlook to have. Best of luck to you.

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.
