In my research, females are often diagnosed late cos there are less studies on them than males and it is more common for females to have the inattentive type so it's not that obvious than being hyperactive. Right??? All your life you thought were normal but apparently isn't. Like, people don't really have music playing in the back of their heads 24/7?? So weird lol.
Oh no, really bad to not have these easily accessible but thankfully there are a lot of resources on the internet nowadays and even communities so you can get support. That helps a lot and good to hear you found something that helps you!
Same! Most are creative as well and they are still on the same "field" so they're not completely useless at all lol.
That's it exactly! I had no idea until my boyfriend (who was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, so he's had his whole life to study & learn about the condition) pointed out that my pinging back and forth between hyperfixation and utter distraction (along with several of my other traits) is a common thing for ADHDers. Thank goodness for him, and for all the resources available online!
