    I'm 27, I got diagnosed with ADHD last week. I always had a problem with consistency, always having big plans but never following through with them.


    Anyone else get diagnosed as an adult?

    Probably most adults these days would be diagnosed with ADHD if they got evaluated for it. I'm pretty sure I would.

    I know a lot of adults who have been diagnosed with it, most of them are very successful.

    I think in 30 more years when we learn more about the brain, everyone will be diagnosed with some kind of minor condition like ADHD.

    Got Diagnosed early as an kid, that was fun growing up in school with it but just every day life now. Learn to live with it and use it as advantage now, if anything.

    I think most people are probably also on the spectrum for autism
