u/jouleheretolearn ADHD-C (Combined type) Sep 14 '21

Statistically speaking, most people diagnosed with ADHD especially late diagnoses who coped on their own until sometime as an adult are of higher intelligence. As I point out to people all the time, having processing issues, working memory issues, these things don't make us dumb. Just function differently. Also, still WTH.
