This is really a great article. I wish I had known all this before my daughter was almost 17, when she was finally diagnosed. It could have helped both of us so much. I try not to let the guilt overwhelm me of all the ways I failed, but it is hard. I’m trying to be thankful she has been diagnosed and we can learn together. After she was diagnosed I read Sari Solden’s book, in order to help her, and realized I was adhd as well. I was recently diagnosed and have started meds. It’s hard to explain all the emotions. Feeling grateful for things starting to make sense about myself and my daughter, and feeling sad about all the time wasted.
