Yuuuup. Didn’t get diagnosed until I was 32 because I was a “gifted child” and I was always held to insanely high standards. Transitioning to adulthood, those standards ingrained into me came with me. But here I am now burnt out and wondering where it all went wrong. Boom, ADHD. Everything makes so much more sense now. And being medicated helps a ton.

Diagnosed at 30, I graduated below my potential according to my therapist.

I have a master’s degree, but I discovered I also have dyscalculia which explains a lot when it comes to my terrible understanding of mathematics.

Now I think about it, I probably would have pursued a degree in geology or astrophysics if I got diagnosed when I was a kid. Oh well…
