The first of a many part series around neurodivergence - how I came to find out that I had ADHD at 30. The late diagnosis gave me answers to a lot of seemingly unanswerable questions but added a layer of frustration when thinking in hindsight how great it would have been to know this ten years ago.
Here's a quick rundown of my symptoms and the medical process that I have taken as well as the current medication I use.
The signs included an inability to focus for periods longer than a few minutes, problems with social cues, brain fog all the time, hectic overthinking, sleep dysfunction, lack of ability to regulate emotion, messy - ADHD piling, can't stay on track in a conversation....the list is long and I have covered only a few things in this. If you believe that you might be neurodivergent, I urge you to seek diagnosis from a medical professional.
