According to healthdirect, about one in 20 Australians have ADHD, which is a developmental disorder that begins in early childhood.
AHDH sufferers may find it hard to concentrate and may become hyperactive.
Meanwhile healthdirect states that dyslexia impacts one in 10 Australia's, and is a learning disability that makes processing language challenging for sufferers.
Since both conditions are usually diagnosed in early childhood, the 25-year-old was surprised with her results.
"But seriously I wish this was picked up on earlier," she captioned.
