Same, 31 now and I think I have a mild version of the inattentive type. My wife opened my mind to it, I won't go for a diagnosis but having resources to help me improve and deal better with it are great.
Why not go in for diagnosis/screening?
Not judging, just curious.
I'm not sure it would change my life. It's a mild version so I don't need meds, just some tools to manage it. It would cost time and money, with very little payoff.
same except i was diagnosed with ADHD (which was recognized as a separate disorder from ADD at the time) around age 6 and my parents decided to pretend it wasn't real for... 30 years and counting.
