> I've never felt judged or victimized for it

I wish I could say the same. Were you diagnosed as child or an adult? I was diagnosed as an adult, and the school system I grew up in was rather... unwilling... to accommodate my "personality" differences.

There's probably a nuance to be found here between the 2 parent posts... when a person is "judged or victimized"; is that for:

- the behaviour they've been exhibiting, or

- the actual label/diagnosis of ADHD

I feel like hirvi is talking about the former, in childhood years, whereas michael perhaps is about adult life and the latter?
