Hey!
I'm almost 19, and I just found out about my ADHD. I've had symptoms since I was at least six, maybe younger, but I only started getting therapy recently. I wondered if I had it sometimes when I was younger, but I didn't expect to be told "Yeah, that's ADHD."
But yeah, there's this whole adult ADHD thing, and a lot of people get diagnosed later in life. It's not just for little kids.
