Dr Zoë Ayres: People often ask what the point of an ADHD diagnosis is, and this is what I've got: I look back at myself in my 20s and think "I should have been kinder to her". I already know I won't look back at my 30s and think the same. I no longer hate myself. I've given myself permission to thrive.
