I am undiagnosed at this point, however I’d like to thank you Dr. Brown for such a concise picture of Adult Onset ADHD. I had misgivings about my thoughts regarding my symptoms, and even now doubting the results of numerous self-reports and screeners I’ve taken, wondering if I’m simply making yet another excuse for myself. Thank you for explaining how life changes and increasing challenges brought on by adulthood and its responsibilities, are in fact catalysts in the emergence of ADHD symptoms. Little by little, I am starting to make more sense of what’s happening to me, and gaining more knowledge from professionals such as yourself, gives me so much hope and a path forward. I now have a strengthening belief that I have the ability to overcome what has been holding me back all these years. Thank you.
