Very interesting how the effects of a DX can morph over time - while it didn't have much effect on me as a child (0-6yo) I remember grades plummeting at 7yo+.
I went undx'd from 7yo onward. I always was late to things, crammed for exams, etc. A C student on average, I still somehow still got into a great university and received my bachelors degree.
I blended too well into society - just looked lazy, and didn't care too much. Now it takes a lot of effort to stay focused....but I do, somehow.
DH totally has it too - similar to DS though.
