I had the symptoms when I was young but they never interfered with my schoolwork until I got to college. I was just diagnosed at 24

I've always had it but wasn't diagnosed until 40 when my hormones started to change. I started to make mistakes in my ACCOUNTING job and had to start meds because my coping mechanisms weren't working anymore.

Adult onset probably isn’t a thing but it’s def necessary since so many women go undiagnosed until adulthood due to medical and systemic misogyny causing their very clear symptoms to be ignored
