My setbacks from an early age were Dyslexia and A.D.H.D they began as far back as I can remember, but of course there wasn’t a diagnosis in the 50’s and 60’s or maybe there was, the words naughty and stupid comes to mind.
Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a combination of problems that I and many others have, maybe in various forms such as difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behaviour disrupting in the home school, work place or just in general with poor work or school performance, low self-esteem, and other problems follow on as sure as night follows on from day.
In my case it was the combination of having Dyslexia and then the ADHD that really messed me up or so I thought when it came to adhering to the school or the work curriculum as I would question everything with a why, like why is there ph in the word farmersee? As now I realize that the dictionary as written by a dyslexic person who made up peculiar words.
Though it’s called adult ADHD, symptoms start in early childhood and continue into adulthood. In some cases, ADHD is not recognized or diagnosed until the person is an adult. Adult ADHD symptoms may not be as clear as ADHD symptoms in children. In adults, hyperactivity may decrease, but struggles with impulsiveness, restlessness and difficulty paying attention do continue.
great thing for me in having these things has been that I have never been afraid of employing people who were better than me at doing the things that I couldn’t and with ADHD I expanded the business through being hypoactive.
