At age 41, I just figured out I have ADHD, I assumed my entire life that I had a complex set of flaws.

Late bloomer here too! My 39th birthday gift was my first adderall xr and a taste of what it's like to think about either nothing or just one thought of my choosing.

38 here, about two or three months into Adderall XR after a late diagnosis. It’s insane how much of a night-and-day difference being medicated is.

I’m actually able to adequately track my daily work tasks without scrambling around trying to find a thread to remind me. I’m able to sit and just work without having that pull to do something more enjoyable. I’m able to stop bouncing everywhere and just sit still.
