Anyone else feel this?

I noticed it before I got into IT, but it seems to have gotten worse.
EDIT: Great comments guys, and thanks. I don't feel so alone. :)
One by one my family is getting diagnosed autistic and ADHD. I have recently been diagnosed at 35 years old with ADHD. I figure it's just a matter of time for the other shoe to drop.
I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice. There's significant overlap between ADHD and Autism (also BPD). You could have just one, or all three. But, more important than nailing down precisely which you have, is finding treatments or techniques that help you function in a more effective way in your day to day life.
There's a YouTube channel called How to ADHD that I highly recommend. She gives a lot of explainers about what ADHD looks like in real life, as well as techniques that she uses to help her.
She's awesome! One of my favorites, actually. She did a thing called something like tell me you have ADHD without telling me you have it, and every comment was me. Made me go check. Just because you have one or two or all three, doesn't mean you any less than someone who has none. All it means, is that you see the world differently and must adapt differently.
I'll check her out, thanks!
