I'm a 30 y/o female who has always had mental health problems due to complex trauma, but like you lately I've been functioning sooo badly in terms of tasks, time, organization, memory, energy etc. and recently discovered that my dad, uncle, and grandmother all have ADHD and I was like... WHAT?! Why has no one told me?! I hear women get diagnosed later in life. I'm curious now. Cause I really empathize with most of what you said
I've done a huge amount of research, especially since I started to have problems with the covid insanity. Undiagnosed ADHD and ASDs is a major issue, but the problem is far greater for girls. There is a lot of ongoing research trying to fix the problem.
I work in a field that attracts ADHD people. I know many lady engineers who clearly display ADHD tendencies. If I were you, I'd do some research. For Autism, which often is accompanied by ADHD, there is the Autism Self Advocacy Network. They have a lot of info regarding Autism/ADHD in women.
