What age were you when diagnosed?
What treatment are you undertaking?
What difference has the treatment made?
What type of job do you do and does it play to your strengths?

Btw if you simply leave this thread with just the OP (under the implication that you got too distracted to reply) that would be top trolling! hehe

Further to the above:

What made you decide to start the process?
How long did it take from the initial appointment to diagnosis?

I’ve long suspected I’ve got ADHD, but never pursued it. Any insight would be helpful, thank you.

Do you have something you specialise in or obsess over because of your ADHD ?

What relevance was the diagnosis and what improvements in your condition have you seen as a result of it?

Tbh, it would be bloody awesome.


On a serious note, have you ever had any substance misuse issues and how have you dealt with them?

Do you get angry at people with ADHD diagnosis just because they were a naughty little st who needed discipline bringing the whole issue down meaning less people take it seriously?

My son has an ADHD diagnosis, along with aspergers amongst a couple of other things.

I'd be interested to know how old you were when diagnosed?

If you were diagnosed young have you any insight as to how your condition developed or changed during your teenage years? (he's 12, so on the cusp of significant hormonal changes anyway)

I know the aspergers generally goes sideways during puberty, it would be interesting to know if the adhd is the same.

Do you find being off your meds an advantage at times? Being able to concentrate on multiple things at once? or does it all get a bit too noisy?

Is this an entirely serious thread or can we make funnies?

What triggered you to seek help? ie one incident/moment of realisation, or just a gradual dawning?

Has the OP gone off somewhere?

Will you be answering any of the questions?
