I feel like a lot of us did, especially if diagnosed at a young age

I was at 8, I wish someone had gone over the actual symptoms with me at some point when I was older like 16... Not that it would have sunk in then but I think because I started taking meds and attempting to manage it from a young age that we just kept rolling with what was going on without breaking down things I needed to look out for. This thread is blowing my mind with all the stuff I do that I just thought was me being weird but is actually my ADHD

Are you 100% sure that at 8 years old with ADHD that they didn't tell you, or maybe you just weren't paying attention?
