There's a lot to unpack

I have been dating this girl for at least.. 2 years now. And I thought, I'd share our story. At first I just thought she was very energetic. Most of us actually just thought she was that kind of girl, you know? She easily gets excited, her enthusiasm was contagious, and she had trouble sitting still whenever we watched movies and did something slow-paced. Embarrassingly enough, it took me a year to realize Jingles has ADHD. I tried to tell her about it, but she said she had no clue she even had it. Our caretaker (we lived in an orphanage before) never really knew how to deal with JIngles's behaviopr and would chalk it up to a sugar rush or having too much energy. It was odd and I finally understood why when I took her to the doctor. It's where we found out about her condition officially diagnosed, and we managed to work it out. Long story short, people need to know these things and not just assume it's normal most of the time. My girl would've handled life with more control if we just knew about it sooner. Just wanted to say that, be on a lookout. They may not look like they're handling something, but they are. Don't be naive and try your best to unnderstand and do something when you're able.
