I'm leaning towards underdiagnosed personally

I think the best part was after my diagnosis and I told my parents (I was diagnosed as an adult @ 29) they went on a rant about how it wasn't real and my teachers and doctors have been trying to shove pills down my throat since I was a kid. So I guess that was pretty eye opening into why I wasn't diagnosed sooner.

Wow, same for me. I've heard many rants about how they just want to put me on pills. Of course, I didn't get any help in non-medication related ways either

Or some change in everyone's environment causing similar issues...

I remember 10 or 15 years ago reading a study about children watching TV and having ad breaks jump in for consecutive 30 second distractions (with exciting toys/products kids get a flood of dopamine seeing) being linked to a rise in it.

Nostalgia? I'm nearing 40 and all I have to do is switch out "room" with "home office" to make this applicable to me.

Can someone explain what it's like having a dirty room everyday? I'm a clean freak so my house is spotless. I've got a 4 roombas zooming around all day everyday. All my trash....goes in the trash can. But i see people having loads of water bottles on their desk for weeks and it doesn't faze them. I just can't stand filth.

Being a clean freak isn't healthy or normal either.
