Was reading a totally different thread and a lot of people are mentioning their ADHD and how it presents in women and it’s resonating so hard. I’ve always wondered if there was something wrong with me, I don’t seem to be wired completely normally…it’s got better as I’ve got older and had children and have had to evolve a lot of coping strategies. But I wonder if I’m just looking for reasons to justify my bad traits. I’ve always been intelligent and could generally pull it out of the bag academically when I needed to (always left to the last minute, I need the pressure of a deadline behind me before I can function) so I think maybe that allowed me to go unnoticed as my grades at school were always good (although every single school report said ‘she’d do better if she would just concentrate a bit more’). I don’t want a diagnosis or anything, but I’m just curious about others’ experiences. If you have ADHD and especially if you only realised in adulthood, how did you know? How does it affect you?
