It has literally been like a light bulb going on. Never considered it before and like many I wrongly saw it as only a childhood disorder most common in boys. It was a friend who suggested it after I'd misplaced my keys for the hundredth time. Then I got reading about it and it would really explain so much in my childhood and youth.
I'm a very tidy and organised person and I'm rarely late. In fact i'm always early! But I wonder if I've been masking?
I struggle with tasks I find boring but I'm hyperfocused on other things. I always felt like I didn't fit in although I'm social. I struggle not to interrupt people and want to talk a lot but I supress it. I find it harder and harder to focus on films and TV and my brain is on the go constantly with thoughts and over thinking and analysing. I'm impulsive too and get bored easily.
I've had depression and anxiety in the past. Would it even be worth seeking assessment? I'm a massive over achiever and perfectionist too
