DSM 5 - You absolutely sucks
Just finished all 3 sections of my ADHD Snapshot and realized something. When they asked what would change if this worked, I didn't say productivity or focus. I said it would change the way I see the world. Turns out I haven't been trying to fix my ADHD. I've been trying to stop feeling separate from everyone else.

@Pia J thanks for sharing. I was picturing how you will fit with me. I'm a volunteer in a second hand shop. There're Autistic, Aspergers and ADHD people. I tried to connect with them at personal level and had failed not for trying but the engagement was not there. My issues are lack of focus, daydreaming, there is an order to my chaos, I give presentations or want to present a solution to an issue and surely my ideas are not coordinated. I always think about why was created like this and the answer is:

@Deb Brouwer Thank you for your comment as I totally agree with it. There is a lovely podcast titled: The truth about ADHD in adults: Harvard's Dr Chris Palmer explains the research. This was an eye opener for me as I was diagnosed with this disorder. At the beginning I did not know how to deal with the good news. The fact is: I was born perfect and equipped to deal with all challenges of life. I have 4 university degrees not to boast about it. I only mentioned that to say, I have all the marbles and have not lost one. How the medical establishment labelled me is totally irrelevant. I do not need medication at all and certainly I do not need any organiation to define who I am. I write solutions to problems for the IT architecture I work on. My mind is like your of 10 cats. These papers are revised by IT Architects and nobody had said, you have some mental issues. I will take this sentence (refeing to the cats)as mine from now on, lol. Enjoy life.

In My life
I am very glad I found this site and it is not because misery loves company. It is because I found there are so many others who are/have been suffering through some/most/more of the challenges I faced in my life. I did the snapshot and it told me exactly where I am in my life, and I agree. I have been able, after 40+ years to take a long hard look at my challenges and behaviors and find strategies to not only survive but to grow from them. My being here lets me share some of those same strategies with others.I am not here for any personal gain other than the happy feeling I get from offering advice that has helped me.

Late diagnosed ADHD
I was only diagnosed with ADHD last year, at 58. Total plot twist—I had no clue. I grieved my life and “what might have been”, if only I’d been diagnosed sooner. I went into a deep depression. If only I were diagnosed later. I was depressed for a while. I was angry. But the more I’m learning about ADHD, the more I move from self-blame to self-understanding. I’m starting to forgive myself. I think I’m even beginning to like myself . Still a work in progress. Still have frustrating days. But this shift—from judging myself to understanding myself—has been everything. Has anyone else experienced this after being diagnosed later in life?

I was 63 when the good news came thru. My ability to daydream has given the opportunity to think outside the box in may projects worldwide. We are the natural leaders. Let's enjoy life.

Having worked with SAP for over 20+ years, now I need to learn how to hook up AI with SAP BTP. Not afraid of coding as I've done since Visual Basic.
