More adults are quietly asking a question they never expected to face: Is it ADHD? ADHD Career Coach, Elle O'Flaherty, unpacks why so many high-functioning adults are questioning their focus, energy, productivity, and identity later in life. She explains why ADHD often goes undiagnosed (especially in women), how stigma and masking keep people pushing through instead of getting support, and why major life shifts like burnout or perimenopause can suddenly make everything feel harder.
