Answer 1

I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 34 and so much of my behavior and likes/dislikes made a million times more sense.

The way that mine showed up the worst was filling out forms. I absolutely COULD NOT STAND filling out forms of any kind, like job applications or lease agreements and would frequently get friends or SO’s to do them for me. I hated it so much I would seek jobs and housing that DIDN’T require forms.

Taxes are an absolute nightmare too.
