Finally got confirmation of what I've always known. Feeling conflicted. Relieved and happy I now have validation. But feeling angry and grieving the life I could have had if I was diagnosed sooner. Still plenty of time to find my groove I suppose.

Feel it. My doctor said, don’t lament the life you could’ve had, live the life you can.

Find a book (ha!) on ADHD in adults.

Check out How to ADHD on YouTube. I've always found it humorous how the very structure of her videos is targeted dead at people with ADHD: she well understand how to keep your attention.

Thanks, just watched a few and they're great!

I'm looking for a short video that kind of explains how my brain works and just generally why I am the way I am, so that I can share it with my family. If anyone has and nice clips please link them. Cheers

Take time to grieve if you need to. I’d recommend talking about it with a therapist.
