A woman who was 32 years old when she was told she had ADHD has admitted she previously experienced years of confusion
. Ailín Kennedy says doctors missed diagnosing the serious condition and now she is raising awareness with others affected by the disorder.
Looking back on her journey, she says her experiences in school, college and at work where hampered by the disorder when she was younger. "I kept on asking, 'Why does everyone else seem to know what's happening except for me?' It definitely did a lot of damage to my self-esteem." She added: "When I was diagnosed I cried for about a week straight. I suppose it was all just a mix of relief, anger, validation and grief. The whole idea that I don't have to blame myself for everything anymore. Honestly it was the best thing that's ever happened to me."
"As a life coach, there are certain rules I have to follow. We can't strictly give advice, but we do want to inspire people to make changes in their own lives. From personal experience anyways, I can say that ADHD-ers don't like being told what to do!
