It's nice to meet other adults who were recently diagnosed. It was only after working with ADD/ADHD children, and then getting a training on it that I suspected it. I've always been known to be forgetful, and very chatty (teachers were never able to find a location in the classroom where I wouldn't strike up a conversation with someone.)

I actually functioned pretty well in school, and because I was an eternally happy and intelligent, teachers gave me a break. It didn't work that way once I got in the work world. There were those subtle social cues that I would miss, and I would end up saying something that would offend someone. I would have no clue what I did wrong, which was intrepreted as refusing to change my behavior.

What events led up to everyone else's diagnosis in adulthood?
