Are you a late-diagnosed ADHDer? Have stuff that's driving you nuts and don't know if it's you or the advice that's messed up?

Well, I've been sitting on my ADHD diagnosis for a few years now, and I've gathered some "common ADHD knowledge" that I just don't agree with (i.e., I HATE it.)

What do you guys think? Leave me a comment below and let me know if you want me to expand on any of this stuff.
