Do you have people around you that think they have ADHD but they clearly dont, or have it at a much lower level than you? (sh.itjust.works)

My diagnosis actually said mine is low level, which i dont trust and im pretty sure I just am good at faking the test and its much worse than it looks.

My friend kind of thinks everyone just has adhd but they dont understand the level at which i have it. Like they can focus for a 16 hour workday- there's no fucking way I could do that, I can barely do 9 and most of it is not real work either.

Managing to focus on your work for 16h straight sounds like hyper focus which is a trait that many adhd people exhibit (or so they say)

Anyways, adhd is a wide spectrum, both in symptoms and intensity.
