How did you feel immediately after receiving your ADHD diagnosis? Was it validating? Did it shake your sense of self? Something else?

Hello! Have you spoken to your primary care physician about a referral for an evaluation? Generally you want to speak to a psychiatrist who is trained to do evaluations for ADHD or other conditions that could have impacted your learning in school. If your struggles were limited to math it could have been something other than ADHD. This podcast season is all about being evaluated and diagnosed as an adult: www.understood.org/en/podcasts/understood-explains-season-2

You've listed a lot of conditions here, Alzheimers, dementia, ADHD, and autism. I would suggest making a list of your symptoms and approach your primary care physician and request a referral to a psychiatrist to discuss your symptoms.
