I got my diagnosis at 49. It took about 18 months, multiple visits to a doctor and 3 different specialists, and a lot of money, but it has been a game changer to feel somewhat normal. I'm only angry because I could have lived a much better life, if I was diagnosed early on. I really believe the people that could have helped me, knew what problem I had, but didn't want to help. I don't believe that people who called me stupid and lazy were that stupid. Even now I believe there are some barriers they have because as soon as each of my children turned 13, the call from the teacher came, informing me of suspected ADHD (ADD).
