I thank God every day for being the exception to the rule. I was diagnosed at 40 and all my challenges with ADHD revolve around areas that impact personal relationships but not work so here I am making 200+ a year but outside of work can’t manage intimate relationships.
Med free though. Tried a few varieties but didn’t help where I needed them to. Biggest fixes I would strongly recommend is exercise which is free and a regular psychologist which is not but so worth it.
I was diagnosed as an adult as well, but I also stopped taking the meds years ago in favor of lifestyle changes. Exercise, sleep, and diet helps enough to get by for me, without the side effects.
My personal opinion is years from now we will look at the drugs we are giving to help with thinks like ADHD as barbarism. Yes I know they help many people including my two sons but doctors will tell you it’s all trial and error. We literally don’t know what we are doing.
But yeah everyone has to weigh their individual risks. For me and you meds aren’t needed but we understand for others they don’t have that luxury.
