@goatsarah I am in my mid-30s and I've done OK academically and career-wise - mostly because I have compensated for difficulties concentrating by being bright. On meds, I am far more able to gain knowledge and, as you say, "do stuff". I grieve for all the skills I haven't been able to gain, and the time I have wasted, due to leaving this condition untreated until now. At least now I know I wasn't lazy previously (as everyone assumed); just handicapped by a medical condition.
