Question: I wasn't diagnosed until 50. I chalk this up to being a female and non-hyperactive. I believe when I entered perimenopause a couple of years ago is when my symptoms of ADHD went off the charts enough to finally be diagnosed,  but looking back I can see it was always present,  I was just younger and able to compensate better. Do you see this often in your practice?
Answer: I no longer see patients as I devote my time to research but what you describe is not unusual based on the small literature on that topic.
