Abandoned law degree at Birmingham Uni at 19, and got as far as a PGDip at Northampton Uni but abandoned MSc 20 years later. Tried again with OU recently. Thought I’d set myself up to fail but after ADHD diagnosis aged 53, their support & understanding is unparalleled, it’s reversed years of shame.

Happened to me a couple of years ago. Drs eventually concluded after many, many tests etc that I’d ‘had a funny turn’ -FFS!! Love your response ❤️

I have to avoid libraries, because I take 10 books out, read none of them, manage to renew them online a couple of times and then have either years of guilt when I never return them or a glow of achievement when I pay 5 times their value in fines when I manage to return them 6 months later… #ADHD
