I wish they would stop this:

ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders affecting children and young adults, with about 10% of young people between the ages of 3 and 17 diagnosed with the condition.

What about women and inattentives who are usually diagnosed way into adulthood???

This makes it sound curable, temporary or like it only impacts young people.

Diagnosed at 29. I swear if anyone had paid any attention to me I wouldn't have gotten this far with masking.

I try to explain this to my mom and she just thinks I’m being rude. Diagnosed at 33.
