Undiagnosed ADHD or autism or both, usually.

Or trauma, depression, etc, etc. We should really stop diagnosing people and just suggest mental health support from a professional when something is wrong.

Sincerely - a person with cptsd, who has been constantly misdiagnosed with autism and adhd by the community (I have neither, and it was harmful to think that was my problem).

Could be, likely even.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 40. It has made all the difference to finally treat it with medication.

Diagnosed but unmedicated because the system is rigged against many of us.
