31. It has happened my whole life. I log into work using the same number ID every single day. Ask me what that number is
on the spot and I have no idea. I have to look at a number pad to physically type it out. Kind of those “oh yea I do know it” moments. Like I said, I KNOW what it is but I can’t access it. If I took a guess, you probably remember odd things better and have a bunch of random knowledge of something. Luckily mine happens to work with table/game rules.

Most people with ADHD self medicate with coffee. Hence why you can drink so much and still be not as affected as someone who drank the same and doesn’t have ADD/ADHD. It’s a lesser stimulant but you’re still sort of chasing that clarity.

Haha, you wouldn’t believe 18 year old me got “Vicious Delicious” across my chest(but no don’t regret it, it’s a great 2 truths and a lie response) Not a doctor obviously, but I would maybe look into a psychiatrist to see if you can get tested and get diagnosed. Even just having that reassurance that I wasn’t crazy and seeing the results was helpful to me. It sounds quite similar.

I fought it for years, I figured I was normal. I wasn’t dumb, I could still do a lot of things and I just played it off as that’s just who I am. Well, it is who I am but my brain is just wired a bit differently. I sort of became at peace with it and have improved ever since.

Most of the handful of friends I've made in adult life have autism and/or ADHD, so that sounds about right. And those that actually call me, tend to do so around 3am

I posted something about taking the adhd test professionally. It is just a series of questions.

I had thought I was a d h d but I was not. Others thought I was I was a d h d but I was not.

I guess I assumed I was hyperactive or something over life; they tried to put me on rydillen in 1976.

But again officially no. Not ADHD. In my case. I’m sure others thought they were a d h d too like myself. (The reason I share this)

My wife tells me I have adhd but never got diagnosed. My son is 11 and has been diagnosed with it and sometimes we share similar characteristics. He has the inattentive type. He’s not medicated since we wanted to try natural methods first. I’m aware there is no cure for adhd but I think certain vitamins has helped. High quality fish oil, b complex, exercise and trying to have structure in the day is key for him. Just sharing some things that have worked that might help others as an adult.
