Similar situation here. I was diagnosed in my late 20s. I was having marital problems before Ritalin. Inattentiveness can be fatal to a relationship, and my executive function was poor, which put a lot of strain on my wife.<p>In school, with plenty of free time and few responsibilities, I did fine. A two hour homework assignment might take 6 hours, but I did OK. It was adult life that became unmanageable.<p>Like the author mentioned in the article, I don&#x27;t think of it as a disease necessarily, it&#x27;s a personality type. But it&#x27;s a personality type that can make it difficult to live in the modern world without help.
