I'm starting to suspect the rash of ADHD/autistic cases these days is owing to Boomers (especially women) who are retiring and finding the lack of structure, sleep problems, and change of routine unbearable. In midlife, too, the demands on women (children, parents, work, household) seem to slip over an invisible threshold that creates a feedback loop of poor sleep, poor energy regulation, and irritability at everything. I've felt extremely frustrated by having to choose between maintaining my health and having any "fun." Fun activities can be the final straw of too much.
