I’ve (21M) been attempting to get assessed for the last couple months now, and in that time I’ve talked to friends and especially family about it. As with many of you, I’ve mostly experience doubt and insistences that I’m “normal” or that “everybody is like that”. I’m here because some things my siblings have said has piqued my interest and got me curious. I’d talk about some symptoms and I’d hear “ I talked about it with (other sibling) and the way you make it sound’ you’d think I have it too”. This sibling also recently talked to me about how she’s (31F) basically dealt with extreme stress all her life and how it’s fueled her accomplishments (sound familiar?) Furthermore, my other sister (28F) recently told me that the therapist she’s just started seeing said she thought she has ADHD and wanted to start her on medication, which she of course declined to. I could speak about my other family but I’ll cut off here to keep it brief.
My question is, do these occurrence sound like ADHD to any of you? And does that give any more credibility to the possibility that I could have it?
