Same as me. I think about it every day now. I’m 44 and It explains a lot of my behaviours.

I found the adhd chatter podcast very helpful

It's nothing personal but I clicked your link enthusiastically and was greeted with nothing but clickbait thumbnails.

"THIS COMMON MEDICATION IS DANGEROUS FOR ADHD WOMEN!" & "THIS STRANGE HABIT IN PREGNANCY INCREASES THE RISK OF ADHD!" are just two examples.

I'm sure it's a good podcast but I find this practice distasteful at best and absolutely abhorrent when you're directly targeting mental health patients with poor impulse control and self-regulation issues.

(I want to emphasize that I know you mean well :-) )

Yea that is very annoying. It's copying the Diary of a CEO format, sensationalizing the topic.
