The things I spent years questioning, feeling embarrassed about or thinking I was just rubbish at being an adult… suddenly made a lot more sense after my diagnosis.
And the more I learn about my ADHD (and autistic traits), the more I realise how much I’ve misunderstood myself over the years.
I’m 35, a twin mum, and still learning how my brain works. Better late than never, eh? 🫶🏼
Does anyone else find themselves having a lightbulb moment every five minutes since their diagnosis? 😂👇🏻

This is my 17 year old twin daughter, she also has dyslexia and dyscaulia. She’s currently in her final year of her A levels and always leaves everything to last minute 🙈

In school I was always aware that my hearing impairment was why I struggled because I struggled to hear my teachers. I loved certain subjects and would do well with them but other subjects I just had no interest in them and would only try just enough to pass. I was basically an all or nothing kid in school. If I liked the subject I was all in, if I didn't I was doing just enough to pass so I didnt have to take it again and could graduate. Like math gives me a headache trying to figure it out. I talk way too much when I talk about something. What could be a 5 or 10 minute thing becomes a 30 minute thing. And texting is usually a TLDR (too long don't read) thing. I don't know how to self edit. I too need my time to decompress and wind down. Especially after doing something like going to a concert. I LOVE going to concerts but its an overload of people and I need time after before I go to bed to decompress from it. I need my alone time at night to decompress and unwind from the day and having to deal with everyone. Its partly why I like being up at night and am a night owl. This comment is probably a TLDR 😂 And if you read the whole thing, thank you.
