I was diagnosed with ADHD at 25. Looking back at my school trauma—the shame, the punishment, the feeling that I was 'bad'—I realize my teachers didn't understand. They just saw me as a problem.

All those years of feeling broken in a classroom designed for a different brain.

If you were undiagnosed at school and then diagnosed later, how did you reframe those memories?
