I mainly want to see if there are any late diagnoses like me, who was 15.

    Probably has a lot to do with access to healthcare. My parents were kind of hypochondriacs when i was young, so i was diagnosed as a toddler.

    Lots of parents don’t know what to make of a kid wheezing, especially if it’s infrequent and mainly associated with illness. If you aren’t familiar with asthma you’d probably not suspect anything.

      I was suspected to have asthma as a child so I asked my parents and they laughed it off until I nearly passed out when I had to do a running test in Freshman Gym class.
