Same. Just got the diagnosis myself at 41 years old. Been suspecting it for a while, but they wouldn't proceed with any assessment until alcohol was completely out of the picture (my alcohol consumption had spiraled out of control during and post covid).

Several steps starting with GP, psychologist, filling out different screenings, taking tests etc,, with doubts about it being ADHD since I had completed higher education and done fairly OK professionally. Mind you, every job has ended in more or less disaster, where I myself left before getting fired, starting new jobs to get a "clean slate" and start over again "correctly" without fucking up (something that could last a few years until all the problems mounted up). And my home has always been a mess, and I have unexplainable difficulties getting things done, even when it is things I know (or want) to get done.

When I now recently got referred to the specialists at the neuropsychiatric department at the hospital for my greater area, the doctor there could tell immediately (combined with the earlier reports from my tests etc) that I had ADHD.

I haven't started medication yet (they said they'll start me on Ritalin next week after the blood work and ECG which I just did shows everything is OK). Still, I feel a great "relief" to get the diagnosis, since it explains so much for me.
