I read this post from 2015 yesterday and was amused because the guy clearly seemed to have ADHD in my opinion [0]. Then in the comments on HN somebody mentioned that the author recently wrote about being diagnosed at 40, which may be an interesting read here [1]. The author says it was like living the Truman show.

ADHD can be harmful and comes with a bunch of comorbidities that can also develop later in life. If you have trouble listening, tend to hyperfocus on things but also emotional states, etc. I recommend going forward with a diagnosis.

Thank you. I'm reading both now. Funny how his blog is about 'living your best life', the exact reason I went to therapy to begin with.

I don't have trouble listening, but the opposite. I empathize so strongly when people talk to me about their problems that I end up exhausted.
