Ruth Medjber: Finding out I had ADHD as an adult stunned me – as did referral and diagnosis process

When one of the musicians (whom I’ve known for many years) came to me and said, “I think you may have ADHD”, I laughed. I couldn’t be neurodivergent. I’m a successful photographer, out here making money and nailing my job. But I wasn’t quite nailing it, not with my usual ease anyway. I was beginning to struggle and my friend, whose wife had just been diagnosed with ADHD, had begun to see the signs in me.
