Many adults went through their

childhood being called dreamers, goof-offs, or simply lazy. They remember struggling a lot in school, frequently getting into trouble, and perhaps even trying to find ways to cope on their own during their teenage years. What's interesting is that a lot of these adults likely had ADD/ADHD when they were kids, but it wasn't recognized at the time.

Back in the past, not much was known about ADD/ADHD, so many adults today never got the right diagnosis or treatment. Some of them might have naturally outgrown the disorder as they got older, while others might have figured out ways to manage the symptoms they faced. Nevertheless, there's still a substantial number of adults who continue to wrestle with ADD/ADHD symptoms to this very day.
