This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That sounds so similar to so many stories I've heard! The ADHD symptoms are so similar to symptoms neurotypical people also experience, it just impacts our (people with ADHD) lives so much more, so it's no surprise it goes undiagnosed for so long. It's really easy to assume you're normal especially when you get good grades in elementary school as is the case most of the time with ADHD it seems.

And women just in general have less research to help back up the diagnosis!
