The 'Lost Generation' and Seeking Diagnosis Later in Life
The chapter explores the concept of the 'lost generation,' discussing how individuals who were not diagnosed with conditions like ADHD and autism during childhood are now seeking answers and diagnoses later in life. It highlights the historical context of diagnosing ADHD and autism and the role of social media in changing perceptions of neurodivergent experiences. The chapter also addresses the challenges of accessing a diagnosis and support for mental health conditions, emphasizing the importance of addressing real problems of access rather than vilifying the internet.
