April Rose, I also realised after my son was diagnosed ADHD at an early age. They said it can tend to run in to run in the family. I did the online tests from the society and realised that I ticked just about every box for ADD. That made me think back to my father and I came to the conclusion he was probably also ADD.

Jenny, I understand very much what you are saying and feeling. However, in my case it has nothing to do with gender situations. In my case it has to do that ADD/ADHD was not on anybody's radar when I was a child in the 1940s and 1950s. Had a diagnosis and treatment been available then, I believe my life may well have been different. A diagnosis at age 59 (17 years ago) didn't change much for me other than to give me a better perspective of my past. I do take meds for it now that controls impulsive behaviors. What I used to react to in 3 seconds may now take me 3 weeks, 3 months, or 3 years to react to. Impulsivity caused a lot of issues throughout my life. Anyway, I can't relive those years so I don't spend time and effort playing the "what if" game.
It's never too late to enjoy a happy childhood.
Live each day as though it's your last 'cause one day you'll be right.
I'm finding the more feminine side of me...and I ❤️ this adventure.
