"We never saw any of this ADHD or autism stuff when I was young!"

You never saw any photos of the surface of Mars back then either, but I'm pretty sure it was still there the whole time

@Garwboy oh my gosh yes. It's as if our existence is a static state at all times. We are learning so much about the natural world. We act as if we have it all figured out. Not even remotely.

Being an adult only recently diagnoses with ADHD, my parents never noticed even though every person they knew who saw me asked if I had ADHD. People are strange sometimes.
