A few years ago, I was diagnosed with ADHD. I never realized I had the condition because I was always in a line of work that required uber-focus and had constant high intensity (so it was like a constant dopamine hit). After I changed careers and started doing more desk-work, I noticed my inability to stay on task, focus or complete projects. The few times I had to finish something (like give a presentation at a conference), I was able to pull it together – but only because my ass was on the line and I had a non-negotiable deadline.
In learning more about this condition in women, I found out that many women don’t figure out they have ADHD until later in life.
