I got diagnosed at 6 years old, and honestly, I kinda just view it as a part of who I am at this point. I am a certain way because I have ADHD, and that’s fine. The best thing you can do is accept it, and make your choices knowing that you have it. If you feel hampered by it and like medication would do you good, power to you, get medicated. If you feel it’s unnecessary and you happen to like being a little kooky, like I do, then that’s fine too.

I was medicated for a bit as an adult after not being medicated in childhood, shit made me feel like a shadow of myself. I’ve had other people with ADHD who I’m close to tell me that ADHD medication saved their lives. Don’t feel pressured to go either way, do what you think is right for you. That’s the only advice I can give in good conscience to a newly diagnosed adult.
