It's possible! Sure! If you know you have it in the first place...mental disability deniers all around me...๐Ÿ˜’

Why the hell does this keep happening? I still hear horror stories of how people struggle for half of their lives and nobody stops to think "this isn't normal, we should see a doctor" and it just infuriates me.

Please, if it is negatively effecting your life or you get into arguments about it and it's effecting your social or home life, see a doctor.

Well, they all fall under an umbrella called "Neurodivergent" since we think vastly differently than the norm.

Nothing here is a clinical diagnosis. They are just a lot of the things us with ADHD deal with on a daily basis that effects our lives enough that it severely diminishes our quality of life without physician help. See a doctor if these types of things are effecting your life in any significant way.

For me personally, and a few others I know, it's definitely the latter. However, everyone is different, so it'd be interesting to see other people's replies.

Apparently to critisize what ADHD folks experience...

Rule 1. Clinician or not, just because it effects other people, doesn't mean it doesn't effect those with ADHD. We're not doctors, we're people with lived experiences that always tell people to get checked by a doctor if they're affected by these symptoms in a way that it effects their lives.
