I self diagnosed fifteen years ago but in the last two years I’ve been getting real help for it. I regret not doing so when I first came the conclusion I have ADHD. I can’t take stimulants and the first time I was given a non stimulant ADHD drug I had a severe reaction. This caused me to avoid getting real treatment and that was a huge mistake.
My daughter went punk then goth and then several other things I never bothered to look up. She is now a school teacher who only occasionally has bright florescent hair.
