Can adults have ADHD even if they weren’t diagnosed as children?
Absolutely. Many adults with ADHD were not diagnosed in childhood, especially women and high-achieving individuals who developed coping strategies that masked their symptoms. Adult ADHD is common and highly treatable with the right support.
