They had it and "made it", everyone else must be ok.
That was why it took me so long to discover I have ADHD (which I got diagnosed with in my 20s, after I had already graduated university).
I recognized challenges I was having, but I both had the issue from the meme and also the issue from your comment. I was a pretty good student despite the ADHD and just developed habits for powering through or "just dealing" with the symptoms. It's a shame, cause now that I'm medicated, it's like night and day. All those periods where I struggled to meet deadlines because I couldn't concentrate... Many of those could have gone away if I had discovered this sooner.
I'm in the same boat, except my parents were illiterate shepherds/farmers who didn't know any better. Also, I haven't been officially diagnosed (I don't have health insurance). Like you, I've learned to live through it, and I tell ya, it has been very fucking rough. 42 now and my daughter has autism and ADHD. Doing everything for her that I didn't get from parents. Good luck to you
dad?
Yes, my child.
