I wasn’t able to get it checked out earlier in my adult life due to being a independent contractor for so long (american healthcare… yay). Now though, I’ve got the time and the insurance to cover everything. It’s actually a relief to know that it’s not just me being incompetent.

Now I wait for a prescription and hope that sets me on the right path.

My understanding is that its a super common comorbidity (for people with Autism to have ADHD too, not the other way around)

I got diagnosed at 36. Not super responsive to the meds, but I also can’t take a high dose. It did help my anxiety a lot though, both the meds and also knowing that I’m not just lazy.

Congratulations! I got a diagnosis this year with 36. It really made so many things make sense. And it really made me less anxious.

My husband only found out he has ADHD at 46. Suddenly a lot of stuff is starting to make more sense to him about why he has struggled with certain things throughout his life. The meds have been helping too. Hope you get the help you need!

When I first realized that ADHD was a potential cause, it was like a light turned on. I watched some videos on symptoms to see if it lined up. Let me tell you, it is surreal hearing strangers describe your life to you. Glad he could get it addressed.
