Do you feel like you received an ADHD diagnosis late in life? There is no clinical definition of “late.” Age plays no part in it. It is entirely based on your perception. If this is you, there can be a range of emotions and new stages of growth that you experience after gaining clarity in this area. You may have heard of the five stages of grief. Well, this episode covers the four stages, or emotions, of a late ADHD diagnosis. These include relief, confusion, grief, and restructuring. You could experience these in different orders and come back to some more than once. If you take nothing else away from this episode, please understand that however you feel is valid. No matter your age or season in life, it is a privilege to receive an actual diagnosis to better understand and embrace the fullness of who you are.
