I just saw a poll on additudemag.com that made me curious; 33% of people who responded said that an ADHD diagnosis in themselves or their kid made them feel shame & they were uncomfortable talking about the diagnosis w/others. 30% of people felt relieved as the big mystery of their lives was revealed, 10% felt regret at not knowing sooner, 8% were glad because now they could get treatment and “get better” & 5% were sad because the things that made them different actually turned out to be a “disorder”. How did you feel?
