My kid doesn't have ADHD

I went undiagnosed until mid-30s, then I finally get treatment, which allowed me to finally finish my degree while making Dean's List while getting the rest of my life in order.

Glad to hear that you had improved your life. What were your symptoms? I tried to get treated, but since I was highly functional (smartass) and didn't show hyperactivity during childhood, the Dr believes I only have procrastination problem when I know it isn't just that (I have terrible attention since reaching adulthood). He gave me another appointment (which I consider not going), because I don't see any point convincing people who had never experienced this kind of problem.

Find the right doctor that will listen to you. I went to a psychologist, GPs might be a bit harder. Hyperactivity, impulsively, attention issues. You might not have clearly shown symptoms from a mile away but you probably had them if you looked long enough. Since getting treatment, I've improved my life beyond what I thought was possible. I'm two quarters away from finishing my masters with a 3.7.

I'll try to find another opinion from another psychologist. Thanks for the advice. Btw good luck on your masters!
