It's hard to overstate what a difference it makes to have that awareness. My wife realized it first because I started working from home. She suggested I read up on it. Almost overnight, I've become aware of the problematic behaviors that are holding me back. I had failed to see it in myself sooner because my issues didn't match up with my limited understanding of the disorder. I had only a vague awareness of them before because I was frustrated with myself and in denial. Now I'm learning what to look out for and how to improve.
