I am the Tasmanian Devil and Rain Man too?
Hello everyone.
I am 50 and did not discover that I have ADHD until 9 months ago. I was talking with my doctor about help for my 7 year old and she recommended I get tested too. I went from being broken my whole life to finding out that there is a method to my madness. After extensive testing I got slapped with some labels that I guess will follow me around in my medical charts. ADHD-PI and AuDHD/2e. I knew I struggled with some things, but WTF!!! On the spectrum was always some distant topic on X and ADHD I just assumed was the spazzed out kids in school....(oh wait, I was that kid)💡. So now, all I have to do is pop an Adderall in the morning and I am magically fixed right?.....Dead wrong. It turns out my brain fights itself with the dual diagnosis.
Since then my life has spiraled. My wife drained the family savings dropping cash on a newer Jeep, then filed for divorce, and basically abandoned our son; and every listed reason she cannot live with us is an ADHD trait. She has since gone on a party pilgrimage re-living her 30's. So here I am picking up the pieces of my life, adjusting to single parenting, and trying to resurrect my business.
I have high hopes for this group and look forward to learning more about myself. I wish to learn how to amplify my gifts while minimizing the obstacles. The goal is to learn to apply lessons to myself so I may help my son as he grows into his talents and trials. I wish everyone in here success on your personal journeys of discovery and self mastery.

This tribe belongs to us late-diagnosed ADHD adults. No shame. No masking. Just real strategies, honest conversations, and people who finally get it.
