    My daughter wasn’t officially diagnosed until age 20. The school years were a nightmare, I knew and she knew she was different and was struggling. I had zero support from our small hick town school district no matter how much I asked. Good for Tellulah for bringing this to awareness.

      I feel you. I’m pretty sure my daughter is but she is still undiagnosed. School was so challenging…and she was ostracized by girls her age…I begged the girls to explain to me when my daughter was in 5th grade why they thought she was different…she’s done so well but I feel it would be easier for her if she was diagnosed…she is 21…

      Did being diagnosed help your daughter to overcome her problems? My son is 19 and he struggles with communication. Making conversation is very hard for him, so he has struggled making friends. I've had him evaluated, but they said he did not fit the pattern.

If she would have been properly diagnosed while still in school, then she would have had many more opportunities and resources to help her. The things I know now, make me so angry that her school district just totally dropped the ball with her.

      But, @artismyheart4883 at least by being diagnosed at “only” 20, she will hopefully be able to advocate for the needed accommodations going forward, and craft a life based on her genuine needs and desires; instead of suffering through decades of cyclic masking and breakdown that is the fate of others diagnosed at a far later age. Of course, your mother heart hurts for the ways in which she was failed by the system...just trying the find the positive in this
      I speak from the experience of being misdiagnosed for decades, and given harmful treatments based on the erroneous diagnoses. Horrible and traumatic mental health issues were the result.

    Congrats to tallulah. I got diagnosed with ADHD at 25 and I’m 38 now and my cousin recently at 48 and there is plenty more of us than we know, but I’ve always had an issue with being diagnosed and kinda wished I wasn’t and let me live as I am. I hope the best for you and bring awareness to the issue and hey to your dad. I hope he’s happy and healthy. My uncle has aphasia too.

      It's actually beautiful to see someone say 'congrats' here. There's still so much stigma and reframing what this condition means - as Tallulah is doing, and as you're doing with that 'congrats' - is really powerful.

    High Functioning adult women tend to either be under-diagnosed or undiagnosed for years, if at all. We present completely differently and learn to "mask" very early.

    “I really hated my self and felt very broken”….. exactly why parents shouldn’t fear a “label.” It’s not a label; it’s a diagnosis. A diagnosis brings understanding of “why” and the recognition of a commonality in the experiences of others like you.

    I have been "odd" my whole life. I can speak to an auditorium full of people, but I'm uncomfortable in a crowded room. I don't really care for being touched, and strong emotions are very uncomfortable for me. I can handle life or death situations without blinking an eye, but small frustrations wire me up. I have always assumed it was because I was a severely abused child, or it was a career in law enforcement where I saw too much of the ugly side of humanity. It wasn't until a couple of years ago, when my daughter said that she believes I'm "on the spectrum", that I really began to look at myself in a different light. So much makes sense, if she's right. However, I'm 70 years old, and I don't think it's worth going through the test now, at such an advanced age. If I were younger, I would do it, to get some answers. But I'm OK with the understanding that there might be an internal reason, instead of external causes. It's good to see the field of diagnosis making progress for so many women.
