Pretty sure my friend has ADHD. Should I say something to her?

I'm not a doctor. Not a specialist in this area.

Have been reading up on ADHD for a few years now. Pretty sure my friend has ADHD.
She said the other day that she wonders if she has it. That's the second time she's mentioned it recently. A child who knows her who has ADHD asked her if she had it too - just the other day.
She's exhibiting a lot of the symptoms of ADHD and its starting to have a negative effect on our friendship.

Could you elaborate on her symptoms OP? Maybe you could point out the next time to her, oh yes that does seem like an adhd trait. Is she blunt, does she talk over people, does she do/say things without thinking, is she disorganised, does she have a bad temper?

Your not an expert so can't diagnose anything if she asks you tell her to refer herself for assessment.
