I don't know how the fuck I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD (or autism or BPD) until I was in my late 30's, when my parents had taken me to the same therapist my younger sibling was diagnosed with ADHD by as a child.

Adhd was demonized back then. I was diagnosed and my parents decided to do nothing because the media was telling them that Ritalin was the devil. Hard to blame them given the climate but man I coulda used the help back then.

Probably because you were the easy one? That was what it was for me, didn't realize until my mid 20s (covid really wrecked havoc with my studying in college because I couldn't go to a physically separate space that I had designated as a place I couldn't goof off).
Exactly. My younger brother and I both have pretty bad ADHD. I am Primarily Inattentive but he got the hyperactivity and ODD. Guess who got diagnosed at 9 and who got diagnosed at 32?
