I recently got the book “Taking Charge of Adult ADHD” by Russell Barkley PhD and it gave me a lot of new insight into what ADHD is, and what it isn’t. it was very comforting to find that things I’ve never attributed to my ADHD actually /are/ related!

I’ve always said, when trying to justify or explain my experience of ADHD, that I wish other people were able to simply “download” my thoughts/experience/memories because I’m certain that then they’d agree. unlike my little brother I was never terribly hyperactive as a child, and most folks would say that my intelligence is above average – which is all well and good, except that as a result it took me 30 years to get a reliable diagnosis.

I certainly know how it feels to be the “odd duck” in the group, for sure!
