Bullet point 1 is the funniest thing I’ve ever read about #ADHD. Also true.

@writeblankspace ADHD expresses somewhat differently in women, and a lot of times it’s missed (I wasn’t diagnosed until far later in life).

@deirdresm @alda @writeblankspace I have inattentive ADHD, too, and wasn’t diagnosed until my late 30s. I also wonder if the inattentive type doesn’t start interfering significantly with daily life until you’re older. Maybe, when we’re younger, we have better coping mechanisms for it? (But that’s just my own musing on it—no data.)

@ramsey @alda @writeblankspace

I never had great coping mechanisms for it, but they did worsen with age.
