    My dad is the sort of guy who thinks mental health is for chumps but you could see the concern in his eyes when I came back from college with my own diagnostic and started listing off the signs my therapist pointed out to me.

    He still won’t admit it, but he’s fanatical about his coffee, tells me he can’t turn his brain off without a drink (a separate issue), hates breaking his routine, etc etc. Not just a match for ADHD but a match that basically perfectly fits my particular flavor of it.

    Glad your kid is getting support at a better age, mine is too. They’ll handle it much better, hopefully, with the extra help.
