Being constantly pushed to live up to the expectations of my parents was probably what prevented me from actually accomplishing anything until recently.

Similar situation but it was undiagnosed depression which had similar impact on my performance. It led me to develop negative behaviors such as seeing myself as "broken" and feeling the need to physically abuse myself as punishment, which I still fight the urge to do.

First it was undiagnosed, then ADHD, then autism (ADHD was later ruled out, but only in my adult life). It was always "gifted" to the less informed

I only got treatment because of my affluent parents ability to get me into therapy early and a lawsuit or two to keep me in school Early detection helps. Healthcare is certainly a luxury here though.

Hey, it's me! I could never concentrate to study or do homework, but I always had great grades and was in gifted classes. Then when I was like 29 or so I was talking with my aunt who does work with children with learning difficulties. She said she knew I had ADHD as a kid.

But because I was never really destructive in my behaviour, and it sometimes made me just insanely curious and wanting to learn more about things it was never seen as an issue to go to a doctor for. While it's not ruining my life ATM it does make things more difficult for sure.

Diagnosed at 25, it was such a relief to finally have proof that ot wasn't my fault and it infuriated me that my parents and teachers never thought to test it sooner. I had brought up the possibility before even.

Tweets like these make me think about trying to push for diagnosis again, but I’m not sure I want to go through the 6+ month nhs process again only to be told I’m ‘just shy’...

I WAS diagnosed, but nobody actually understood how ADHD works so this is still way too relatable.
