I'm 40 and never thought I had ADHD. When I was a kid my teachers wanted my shitbag mother to get me tested but she never would because "I'd be drugged up and not the real me" bitch, the undrugged me is a fucking disaster. I didn't realize I had ADHD until about a year ago, and only because I identified so much with ADHD memes and started looking into it. The real reason she wouldn't get me tested was because she didn't want a "weird kid" and I've suffered my whole life because of it, not knowing or understanding that there was a reason behind my problems. I thought I was just a shitty, broken person.
