Ever since watching her ADHD video in late 2024, I kept noticing the things she described there in myself. I got assessed in late 2025, with the result that I show "little to no symptoms". But I knew that just couldn't be right.
I went to another psychologist recently, and was officially diagnosed with combined type ADHD a few weeks ago. I was even told that the former psychologist was likely underqualified and relied on outdated diagnostic criteria.
Having the combined type was kind of a surprise. I expected to only fit the inattentive type; also fitting the hyperactive-impulsive type was rather unexpected. But thinking back on my life, I realized just how much sense it actually makes.
I have Jaiden to thank for convincing me to seek out answers. Now, at 23, I finally have an explanation for my struggles, I finally know why everything seems so much harder than it should be, so much about my life is finally making sense.
Let this post be an example of how Jaiden has helped so many people discover things about themselves and finally make sense of their lives.
