Hi kpierce1992
In mho, It's never too late (or early) to get diagnosed... I only went to the P a year ago for depression from not coping in this 'strange way of thinking world' to see what on earth the matter was; me or 'it', only to discover this wide world of ad[h]d! - at the grand old age of 54.
Well, wonderful to finally realize the 'reality' of the situation - not only me against the world, but a whole bunch of 'us' living such realities!
So, I feel I'm now on an amazing adventure of self discovery - with CBT help from P doc, I see now connections of thinking all sorts of things - and then subconsciously acting out, conflicting frustratingly with the task at hand... etc.
A great self-learning curve!
Good Luck on your journey!
