Heh, I wasn't diagnosed until I was about 20. My mom teaches special ed (ironic, I know) and when I was in sixth grade she told me, "you have a lot of traits that match the ones on the checklists that are used for the kids I teach."
She was frustrated with me. But I was even more frustrated with myself at the time.
