Late diagnosed ADHD

Any one here been diagnosed late in life with ADHD? As a 45 year old, was recently diagnosed and now a lot of my past experiences, and difficulties, seem to have more clarity.

I’m just curious if anyone else has gone through the same.

I have never been diagnosed, I do believe I tick the boxes.

@Slothy what struck me was the H… because I’ve never considered myself to be hyperactive. But when I learned that my mind was internally hyperactive, and not everyone seems to be that way, it clicked. Go figure.

I was hyperactive as a child, my brain as an adult is hyperactive.
