A diagnosis of ADHD in adulthood brings an avalanche of different emotions – grief of lost opportunities, relief to have found answers, and flat out anger. In this conversation, Ron and Liz explore the emotional ups and downs of a late ADHD diagnosis. Getting an ADHD diagnosis as an adult can be a validating experience and the start of a journey of self-discovery and growth. It’s important to practice self-compassion and challenge negative self-talk, recognizing that ADHD is not a personal failing but a neurological difference. Leveraging strengths and focusing on what you are good at can help you navigate challenges and achieve success. Letting go of the need for perfection and reframing the narrative around ADHD can lead to greater self-acceptance and a more positive outlook on life.
