Just got a diagnosis at age 50. I’ve had the same issue my entire life.
my 5th grade teacher told my parents that I could have a full ride scholarship to any college in the country if I’d just apply myself. It really makes me wonder what my life would have been like if I’d been properly diagnosed decades ago.
I have a good life-including an amazing career (I work for AWS and make very good money), but I feel all of my successes are due to my aptitude, if I’d work ‘better’ there’s no telling what I could do.
Hang in there. Medication will help, I’m told. I wish you all the best.
