I learned I had ADHD last year. I'm in my mid 40's. Just knowing I had ADHD, and learning that I don't think the way normal people think was a huge burden unloaded for me. I'm not lazy, I'm not stupid. I'm atypical. I have executive dysfunctions. It's Normal for ADHD people to do things the way I do. That doesn't mean I like it, but it empowers me to recognize it. THEN I can work around it.

This is true for me as well. I've never taken medication for my ADHD but therapy and KNOWING has helped me tremendously.
