Just found this site a few months back also have listened to Dr. Russell Barkley quite a bit. My daughter was diagnosed many years ago when she was about 9 and at the same time the Dr.’s involved suggested I was probably the same when I was a kid. Fast forward to 2017/18 and now they say it doesn’t necessarily go away upon adulthood. No kidding. My biggest problem now is I am 60 and I still struggle EVERY DAY! I have multiple projects on the go, my workspace for said projects is a nightmare, I spent Saturday trying to find a receipt for my glasses so I can send it to the insurance company – a WHOLE DAY!! And no I didn’t find it. Before you say get the eye guy to issue me a copy, that WAS the copy.
So back to being 60. The disorder in my life is much the same as it ever was but I am very afraid of being denied an assessment because of my age and because of the stress our healthcare system is having. “It’s just your age causing your forgetfulness” “what would be the point of medicating yourself now – AT YOUR AGE?” NO I say, I’m so tired of being a mess, living in a mess.
