ADHD - A Lifelong Struggle https://gekk.info/articles/adhd.html

This article made me question if the author was describing my life rather than their own, so I went and got checked for ADHD. 2 years, a diagnosis, and a medication regime later, I'm absolutely fucking slaying it and it was this article that sparked the change.

This was incredibly wonderful and helpful, and it feels like I could have written it word to word. Thank you so much for putting this out there, it found me and got me to book an appointment with a psychiatrist.

Ditto for me! I find meds efficacy kind of wanes once my brain gets used to it, but even just knowing led to a big shift in how well others can support me and make adjustments that make all the difference.
