Wrong! I was only 27 when I got diagnosed 💪💪
Haha, about the same. Now 32 and feel like I'm the best I've ever been since diagnosis and medication 💪
Oh well.
Yeah, and what's difficult is that real improvement is possible, but you get stuck in this rut where you view attempts to improve yourself as pointless.

How many have you tried? Also it never fixes everything, like for me it mostly just helps with maintaining focus on things, but executive function is still fucked.

Nah, before I was diagnosed I was basically a zombie raising from the dead each morning through sheer willpower.
37 just diagnosed. Knew it all the time.
Only 30? I'm still waiting at 42...
