So many of us are undiagnosed. My mom said I never got treatment because I wasn't disruptive in class. 🤷

ADHD is both overdiagnosed and underdiagnosed at the same time for me... I blame misinformation and overall confusion regarding ADHD... When I talked about my symptoms to others, a common answer I would get is "common among people" - if my pratically extreme executive dysfunction and lower leg muscle destroying hyperactivity was actually common among people than the global society wouldn't last a week
