When you’re ready to go, if you’d welcome the advice: go read through the DSM criteria and think honestly about how it could describe your childhood self, and how it might reflect on your adult experience. The thing is written to diagnose kids. Being prepared to translate it was critical in getting my diagnosis.

What the other person said and try and have adults who can back up that you had the symptoms of ADHD as a young child. My parents were not super-engaged with the process and it made my diagnosis a lot harder, my friend's parents were and he sailed through it.
I'm pretty convinced that I have ADHD, will be seeing what I can do about it when the doctors are less stressed, one of the things that struck me recently is that almost everybody I meet causes me to think "wow, they're organised" - even to the point where someone who I know very well even has the piece of paper to prove he has ADHD is like a scheduling algorithm compared to me.
