Congrats on your diagnosis! I too am a former gifted student just dx’d with ADHD but I am 56! It’s fascinating to me that so many things that I thought were personality traits are actually ADHD. Currently trying to break down the coping and masking techniques I have used, to more clearly see the problem and recognize strengths. I am quite sure my sons also have some neuro divergence (I hate that term). They are also gifted and one is a phd student too. This is my rabbit hole du jour.
Thanks for your comment! What brought you to your diagnosis? I'm positive that my mom and siblings also have it , but currently I'm trying to figure out what might be symptoms of childhood trauma and what is ADHD. for me, there seems to be a lot of overlap. That's my rabbit hole right now!
