I literally just got diagnosed with adult ADD a month ago. I'm 46! It... explains a lot of things, both for better and for worse. I never even realized I was developing coping skills vs. just developing normal skills, if that makes sense. I definitely have had the same types of problems as you describe.
I've been on Ritalin for a few weeks now, and the difference is remarkable. If this is how normal people feel most of the time, I don't know... I am both relieved to have a name for what was causing me problems, and also feel the need to grieve lost opportunities in life. It's a complex mix of emotions.
