Love this for us 🙄
The age gap in identification for ADHD is a problem for a variety of reasons-but to sum it up:
Later diagnosis leads to many missed opportunities for helpful interventions and accommodations-having to exist without the knowledge around how our minds *actually* work leads to high masking and burnout among women once they reach their thirties. (This often becomes clear for women once they become mothers, because all of their resources that they used to use for masking are taxed beyond recognition by having a baby)
