Do I have ADHD?

My friend once told me that she believes I have ADHD. But I have never been diagnosed with it. My parents don’t even believe in mental health and all that sort of thing so I wouldn’t even know who to ask. I don’t know what would make me have ADHD and I know my parents are strict and would laugh and wouldn’t take me to the doctor to help me. So how would I know?

Hand to tell, what kinds of things do you experience?

I didn't realise I had ADHD until I was 36. I kind of stumbled upon that knowledge by finding I relate a lot to the ADHD experience. Do you also relate?

The thing that stuck out to me most was cognitive dynamism. It's where you have non-sequential thoughts, flashes of ideas, and generally flexible thinking. It usually comes with a struggle to follow through though, and difficulty focusing.

It might sound silly but maybe check out some ADHD memes and see if they resonate with you. Like, do they make you go: "I totally do that!"
