Better Living Through ADHD
summary
A late ADHD diagnosis at age 30 reframes lifelong problems: poor short‑term memory, losing phones/keys, losing threads of conversations, and chronic trouble starting tasks. School and work suffer (1.4 GPA, third from last; 10+ jobs in a decade, only two held over a year). A clinical path includes therapy, reading Delivered from Distraction (over 25% highlighted), referrals to psychiatry, trial of meds like Wellbutrin and stimulants, plus practical tactics: morning exercise, carrying a notebook, and scheduling deep work at night.
