I have ADHD and my flavor makes me look well adjusted on the outside while struggling hard. My mother completely dismissed the possibility of ADHD based on things like me getting a Master's degree. People see the decent grades, but don't see that you put in three times the effort. Everything got much easier after getting the diagnosis and medication as a 33 year old. |

This is me. Looking back at my school days, it is very obvious I had ADHD but neither my parents and I, nor my teachers knew such a thing existed to get diagnosed.
In adulthood, others might think I am doing well, but they don't know the constant struggle my life has.

This is on point. Sure, I am getting my work done, but they don't see how my constant procrastination, zoning out means it takes me 3x the time to get something done, and it makes me feel 24 hours aren't enough to have my life in order.
