Not just because I appreciate the connections re: managing my ADHD, but also because my time spent here in BlueSky so far has been dominated by discourse about one particular person, and my brain sure needs a vacation from thinking about that topic. My BlueSky experience desperately needs more diversity right now.
Late diagnosis would be good. My local mental health providers don't want to believe that I, in my 60s, don't actually know anyone that was around me during my childhood that can remember my behaviour then - except for my mother, in her 90s, who obviously passed on her genes. 🙄 Then there are the questions: clearly designed by a child psychologist to assess "naughty boys". (At least, that's my partner's view - and as a primary school teacher with decades of experience, I'd trust it.) It looks as if growing older and further from one's childhood evokes the kind of ageism that really shouldn't be around for those seeking a diagnosis in later life.
Woohoo! Bluesky!! The migration continues!!
Thanks for this list… seriously.
