I just got my ADHD dx on 6Sep2017 (two days ago as of writing this). I'm almost 30! My feelings are still all over the place. Right this minute I'm struggling with feelings of sort of... imposter syndrome. So much of the assessment process focused on childhood, and especially school performance! It was mostly behavior and feelings that stumped me; grades-wise I was almost always straight-A's, and my parents say I hit or pre-empted every developmental marker. Still don't know if I belong here :S

I hope you’re still here, because you definitely do belong! I always did well in school too, as do many ADHDers. But we struggled with other things, like socializing and emotions, and staying on top of our assignments and being organized.
Feeling a little weird about your diagnosis is totally normal and to be expected. And however you feel is totally okay, too. You’ll figure it out eventually!
