When 50, my friend discussed having dyslexia. I realized she described my brain. I have been flipping info since I started thinking. It truly explained my way of processing in a 3 second delay to learn. It's fine because I never forget it. I do have a blank stare in the interim, processing. And I do not care😉
Wow. I had the same experience. Years ago, we took my 10-year-old son for ADHD testing by a specialist. In the doctors office after the testing, he said my son had ADHD and that it was usually inherited. My husband looked over at me and said “Well, we know it’s not my side of the family!” lol It was true! All of the symptoms the doctor described fit me. It has helped me so much in my adult life to be able to make sense of a somewhat confusing childhood in certain areas that required focus and especially paying attention with activities I was not interested in. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Practicing forming no opinions relieves me from performance. Sets me up to not judge. If caught, I stop. I despise it. So I truly stay far from it. Peace protected✌🏽

It’s fascinating how we can miss something obvious about ourselves until we see that thing reflected back to us in another person.
