If it helps, when I was a kid, the conventional wisdom was "girls don't get ADHD." Which is why I didn't get diagnosed until I was about 36.

Nowadays, we know better. And we can use that knowledge to do better! Which is why I'm finally in college.

That's so shitty, I hope the world can one day be a better place. It feels like the bar is really low.

In my family nothing was tolerated if it didn't make mom feel better like right now. So I didn't have any time to even think about things before I was 18. It's been a while but people like you have done a huge difference in my life, I'm trying to be helpful person too when I can, one thing here one thing there and together we move forward.

Good going for taking up college! It should be a breeze, but good luck and I hope it all goes well!
