I was diagnosed 20 years ago. I joined this forum and was astonished when I saw a post entitled “what kind of earplugs do you have?” I thought “wait, you all have ear plugs too?” My point is that when I was diagnosed, we didn’t know all these things about ADHD (auditory sensitivities, etc). I used to flip shit and get angry immediately when I heard leaf blowers. Certain sounds would send me over the edge when I was younger. I am also finding out about a correlation between ADHD and rejection dysphoria. What book can I read to find out what else I don’t know that’s been discovered since 2005?
Also, I’m female, so I’m probably missing info about that too.
ADHD 2.0 is great. I read it recently and recommended it to my wife and she liked it a lot too. It had a lot of interesting details that I hadn’t considered previously.
Yeah! It had a bunch of “wait not everyone does that?” moments for me haha.
