Note: I am by no means an expert, or experienced with understanding ADHD from an academic or even a personal perspective. I do have 50 years of experience in knowing what it is like to remain undiagnosed, and not understood. I am very much in the early days (2024), learning as I go, and am even still working out my medications.
But I am intelligent, do have a science degree, and have been very analytical and self aware my whole life. I enjoyed doing help desk and tutoring work, amongst other things. Those combined with my recent ADHD diagnosis, has given me a fairly unique perspective, that I hope to use to try and help others avoid the pain, pitfalls, doubts, and many other trials that I have been through in my life.
