personally i was not diagnosed until my mid twenties… particularly 24. i honestly still can’t believe this and am still grieving the decades worth of issues and time i lost 😭 it makes me really sad.
I was diagnosed at 14 years old
I was 52. After years of being told it’s anxiety/depression but no one ever asking why I might be feeling that way. Like lots of parent I realised I was just like my son who was diagnosed at 13
Self diagnosed age 19 but dismissed it because I was in college so… must be fine, right? Then I effed everything up despite working really hard for 15 or so more years…. Finally am formally diagnosed and medicated at 39…. And the improvement is real. While strategies, “life hacks”, and self education and acceptance have made a difference in the last two years but the medication is a life saver particularly for my job where I don’t have the freedom to make things work for me- like I can at home.
