Oddly enough, I was one of those girls who presented very much like boys. I was extremely hyperactive and impulsive, along with the day-dreaming, inattentive, easily distracted traits as well. I got in a lot of trouble. I am 57, so Black kids were rarely diagnosed back in those days, even less so for girls. I was diagnosed a little over 1 1/2 years ago.
@@nalitaross4169 such a common experience for Black women! I hope as these conversations continue, less little girls get in trouble & instead, receive compassion and assistance when needed. I hope the official diagnosis you received provided you some level of comfort and/or feeling of being understood
