I've read a lot (a LOT) of posts here and elsewhere that made me suspect I have ADHD. I made an appointment to get evaluated. Just curious about other people's experiences.

Memes and posts about what happens when you have autism made me think "wait isn't that what everyone does?" Even then I thought what difference it makes knowing since I'm in my thirties and been working fine all this time.

Just took some tests, and it turns out I might be slightly on the spectrum. The first one I took was the raads and I got surprised to actually be above the threshold since I thought that most of my answers were what is normal. Then I took a couple more tests and even if I'm below the threshold is just by one or two points.

Even then I was like yeah that's not a big deal, besides some questions on the tests seem to need an update. But as I read more it seems to explain my behavior and difficulty to finish projects. So it may help to see a professional to help me determine the root issues and help me improve.
