Yeah, they are almost 100% true for me. I probably have it, but I’m almost 40. Is it worth while to pursue?
I was diagnosed in my mid 30s. I even managed a good grade on a physics degree, without assistance.
By my 30s I began to burn out. I got diagnosed mostly since I thought the meds would help. In practice, the CBT helped even more. For the first time I was talking to a professional who both could keep up with my thought process, and offer useful advice and methods. It’s helped me unpick a good number of maladaptations I had, and so free up a lot of mental resources.

It definitely does.
I normally use a tank analogy. A tank is a shit vehicle for commuting, or distance driving. If you never even know you can go off-road, you’ll never see the benefits, only the costs.
The zebra analogy is the more traditional one however, and tends to ring with more people than my variant.
