Correct me if I'm wrong, but the DSM5 requires struggling in school (well struggle during a young schooling age).

That said, those with many characteristics, me, benefit from understanding why certain things are more difficult and adopting ADHD coping techniques.

Edit: specifically referring to the diagnosis and not identity

As I understand it, being married to a therapist, you must meet a certain number of criteria, not any one specific criteria.

The result of the symptoms could be struggling in school, but it doesn't have to be is my understanding

It doesn't require any specific thing. I first had a doctor try to prescribe me ADHD meds well before I started school and told my mom I would do bad in school otherwise (I didn't do bad in school)
