After reading “Delivered from Distration” because of my son’s diagnosis, I realized I was most likely ADHD to and was somewhat amused. I agreed with Hallowell that there may be advantages and ADHD does not mean you can’t be successful.
Even so, getting a diagnosis evoked feelings which I did not think I would have, even though the literature says to expect and are normal. After reading more, and being on this site for several months, I can see how ADHD has been an adverse effect in all areas of my life, and has been an impediment to what success I have enjoyed. Like everyone else, I feel cheated out of years of my life.
