I thought adhd meant that you struggle to get things done and you lose focus? I’m productive. My room is clean and organized/I don’t lose things, I’m not late on things, I plan things out and then execute them. Stressful events are emotionally exhausting for me, but I don’t avoid them. I listen to my energy and take breaks when I need to.

E: I think adhd can be confused with other things like trauma.

    A lot of NDs have overlapping symptoms. We also live in a world where we're forced to adapt, so coping mechanisms and masking developed subconsciously make it even more difficult to really tell what is the underlying cause of some behaviors.

    Maybe you have ADHD, maybe you don't. People are not able to diagnose you based on a single comment. As long as you feel like you're tackling life well and aren't constantly struggling, I wouldn't worry too much.
