Adults with late ADHD diagnosis, how did you find out?

I was diagnosed at age 32, and i found out through some long convoluted process to treat my depression. I know lots of other adults who found out after their children were diagnosed, and some who found out after the 2020 quarantine ruined their routine, and they started failing at work.

So i am just curious about other people's experiences being diagnosed in adulthood.

also, if you want, please include how you felt about / emotionally processed the whole experience.

Update: Thank you all for your responses. Most of them were very relatable! I haven't been able to read all of them yet, but I plan to later..
