In the midst of both horror and relief at this revelation, my question is this: Why have so many doctors, psychiatrists, and therapists failed to see me?
1) I was diagnosed in my FIFTIES and a lot of things suddenly made sense to me.
2) When my therapist suggested an ADHD coach I snarled that I didn't know why I had to be so goddamned special that it took an entire team of specialists to get me through an average day
3) I was so eager to comment that I clicked your substack link immediately and it unchecked all of the spam Gmail that I had meticulously checked to delete and I had to go back and do it over so maybe I do need a team of specialists
Have you seen/heard of the documentary “disruptors”? It’s on prime and sooooo good regarding adhd... treats it like a superpower- which I totally agree. It really helped me to see things properly and not my preconceived notions of adhd (which they agree in the documentary is terrible name for it)... I love this piece! Thank you for sharing
Three things:

2) When my therapist suggested an ADHD coach I snarled that I didn't know why I had to be so goddamned special that it took an entire team of specialists to get me through an average day

OMGGG.
AND the fact that it's taken me a week to respond to you certainly says something.
