Great post! I didn't find out until I was 54 years old! Explained so much, I too was excelling at creative pursuits but since public school focuses on the subjects that I was not so interested in, I failed again and again. Since then taught myself 3D animation and worked in the game industry, been on MTV with a pioneering music project, invest in cyrpto, etc. My high school teachers wrote me off and figured I'd work at McDonald's at best lol. So happy for you! I just posted: https://steemit.com/adhd/@bitstudio/are-you-or-someone-you-know-one-of-the-10-million-who-are-unaware-they-have-adhd
