Are there reasons for getting tested for ADHD late in life?
I'm 70. When I was a kid, hell, even when my son was a kid, ADHD and many other neurodiverse issues weren't on anybody's radar. I always thought I was a little different from most other kids, but didn't really associate it with anything.
I've had issues as an adult, my whole life. I recently watch some YouTube videos about symptoms of ADHD, and they really hit home. I have most of them. Some of it really helped explain why I have such difficulty with certain things. Like time management. Getting my house clean, or keeing it that way. Chronic procrastination with nearly everything, even when it's something I really want to do.
I'm wondering if I should pursue getting tested and getting a diagnosis. I don't know if I would be willing to take medication, but I'm wondering if there are tecniques and tips I could learn that could help me get my shit together, basically. Start getting things done instead of hitting a mental and emotional brick wall.
What do others think? Any other oldsters out there just coming to terms with ADHD or other neurodiverse conditions?
