Hello,

Newly diagnosed 51yr old also been told I may display ADHD traits so awaiting assessment on this also.

Problem I have is what to tell my parents who may struggle with the fact they missed the signs and most likely say they do believe the diagnosis. Does anyone have any advice on how to break the news. Thanks.

    There is no need to tell them - it doesn't impact them and it is only likely to cause distress so keep it to yourself would be my recommendation.

    It may be important to you but is it worth the anguish it may cause them at this time in their life? Your call.
