I do this as a pro-move tbh. I just make up for it by sleeping late on weekends

So I was never diagnosed with ADHD as a child (I don't exhibit many hyperactive behaviors), but as I'm getting older I'm starting to recognize what appear, to me, to be symptoms. The frustrating parts are things like this. It makes me constantly question if I am struggling with nuerodivergance or if I just need to get my shit together.
I feel the same. It was not a thing back then and I compensate pretty well. I do sometimes feel exhausted though by what I have to do to stay on track.
both of these things except also that when I look back at my younger self the signs are fairly obvious.
I actually almost got placed in the special class because I only got two questions right in this test at a real young age. They just asked for you to point at things and I only was able to do the first two. My mom wanted to see it and then told them they have to tell me I can stop pointing after each directive. The term introverted was tossed around a lot.
Got tested recently, later in life. The neuropsych report is fascinating, and the Adderall is a wonder drug. I seriously wish I had done this sooner.
You might just be autistic then. It’s quite similar, except the ADHD diagnosis people kicked me out within one minute and actually autistic people just vibe with me.
