Can we fix this typo please:

I’m starting to think you’re doing it deliberately now…

He’s very lucky getting an ADHD diagnosis as an adult. I’m pretty convinced but GPs wont even refer me as ‘It would have been picked up when you were a child’, even though I could easily list off all the situations where it did.
And reading this, I’ve realised a lot of my financial issues came from the same place as Abz’s. I’ve always been a very impulsive spender, who buys things to cheer myself up, but i’d never made this sort of connection.
Really gread read, again!

Very interesting. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a young kid. Haven’t taken medication for it in years as it doesn’t seem to affect me anymore. Though, perhaps it actually does affect me. I spend money like I’m a millionaire. Absolutely am not.
