Am I just being dramatic

[Focacciaisyum]

So my child was recently diagnosed with ADHD ,my other child is dyslexic. After reading up more on ADHD I really think that actually a lot of the difficulties I've struggled with my whole life that I thought were just 'me' might point to me also havjng the condition. How do I know if im right though? I cant get inside anyone else's head to see if its the same for them. I used to think i was a super competent 'doer' but actually what i thought was being very efficient might actually be hyperactivity. Ive always been very impulsive, I have started and dropped so many hobbies and courses it's ridiculous - and very expensive - and I really really struggle to relax (cant sit still, always being pulled into deep dive research of one thing or another) time blindness, struggles at work, etc etc.
The problem is I have this fear of being dramatic, or making a fuss. Im not sure why really
So how did you know you needed to look into a diagnosis?

I knew after reading loads of info online and my counsellor suggesting it to me when I repeatedly couldn't understand other people in my life's motives-I'm also autistic.

There is a high chance that you are neurodivergent if two of your children are.

The thing around fearing being dramatic and making a fuss could be due to us being conditioned to keep quiet from an early age?

You don't need to get in anyone else's head as we are all different, and an experienced assessor will be able to tell. I always remember reading that neurotypical people generally don't go around thinking they are neurodivergent, so if you think you are, you most probably are.

I guess you need to work out whether a diagnosis would be useful to you, in terms of reasonable adjustments at work, understanding yourself better, accessing medication etc.
