The reason for this is that I went through this ADHD tips site that had multiple articles and all the tips advised were relevant to me.
Then on top of that I went through all the symptoms of ADHD and I feel like I match with 33-50% of it but then I try to remember back and feel like I was taught over time to stop a lot of my ADHD habits across my teenage years and even young adulthood.
I think my parents did a good enough job of raising me that most of my symptoms got masked to the point that I was still failing at life but still did not feel like I had some actual medical condition even if I constantly felt like something was wrong with how I was connecting to people and the world.
Anyways the other problem is that I am very good at reading books. Like I could read a 300 page book in a day across multiple days over a week when I was a kid as it made me feel good about myself and I loved fiction.
I also know loads of information about multiple fictional universes lore ( Halo, Destiny, Isaac Asimov connected universe, 40k, a few bits of warhammer fantasy ) which I realize normal people don't do.
I also appear to have a high verbal IQ as far as I can gather ( only in English though ) and a high general IQ ( I took the IQ test multiple times however so I don't know if I should count that ). I am also good at abstracting concepts but bad at math.
I require things to always have a cause and effect explanation and do have trouble falling asleep.
I also when I think tend to completely zone out the noise and sights around me. Which apparently is also an ADHD symptom as I tried this noise thing where I noticed that instead of my thoughts taking over my entire mind and functions, now with the noise I could hear the thoughts at the back of my head while still being aware of my environment. I realized that's how normies must perceive the world.
So anyways, I am almost definitely sure that I have adhd, pretty sure I would fall within the ASD segment as well due to at times having trouble with socialization due to lack of experience and being unable to comprehend how others perceive me except the things I learned via active study, and slightly confident that I have a very high IQ.
This does in terms of self diagnosis make me twice exceptional indisputably. ( First exceptional - ADHD , Second exceptional - specialized knowledge about random things but also my strong and profound r-sluration skills and ability to wordswordswords post long texts every single day without much difficulty once the anxiety went away and my great verbal memory which I displayed in earlier posts where I was able to track like 300-400+ words on the little game where that number wasn't even on the list. So my second exceptional gifts were blocked off by my anxiety and the low self esteem and difficulty focusing because of the tism. )
My question to you guys is where do I go from here.
I figured out what's wrong with me with a 90% certainly. I know the solutions. But like now can I stop trying to pretend to be like other humans or what? Do I announce every time I go into a new room that I am ADHD. Do I just work to mask way harder until I am a normie. Or should I double confirm by getting me the ADHD medication and seeing if that has an effect on me?
Thanks for your input.
Good luck to me and good luck to you.

Get a real diagnosis and get medicated so you stop acting like a sperg. You don't need to announce shit to strangers, that's sperg thinking.

from my experience with stimulants I will give you some advice that helped me
0. avoid abuse. dosage alone differentiates medicine from poison. 10mg daily to 100mg daily make a heck of a difference
1. easy come, easy go. addiction to stimulants is pretty mild and while you can get some addiction quickly, you also lose it just as quickly
2. the further away, the better. if you are prone to abuse, you can have someone else to keep the stuff away from your house so you only keep for the next 2-3 days, distance is very important as the rush to reuse after the dose usually lasts for a very short time (especially in lower doses)
3. you solve your problems, not the substance. it will increase your capacity of focus and efficiency, not where you focus. you decide that. (keep following the non-medicated tips)
4. prefer to do it earlier in your day than later
5. always take them together/after eating
6. stimulants are generally toxic, you will need to take good care of your body with a healthy diet and your mind by using a neuroprotective substance like cbd after each days
7. if your goal requires creativity/imagination then ritalin/adderall won't cut it, choose to microdose molly instead (10-30mg daily)
8. don't use every day. take a break every now and then for 2-3 days
9. prepare a clear map of how long you will take, how much and for what exact purpose (also have clearly defined goals and objectives) and stick to it
long story short if you are not a complete brainless r-slur and by keeping the dosages low it is nearly impossible to go wrong, or trainwreck on either rita/amp/mdma
Jump in the discussion.

Yeah...I think I am just going to stick with breathe better to stay calm and listen to at least one motivational video each day of a type that works for you.
The tips are good, but I have already seen the un ADHD addiction kick in for people I know.

allowing a souless system of try to tune you up according to it's standards is dumb
this system is endless confusion, they change the definition of autism every 15 years or so

ADHD is really just naturally low dopamaine levels. Almost all symptoms go away when dopamaine is increased through natural or artificial ways. Look up the book, hunter in a farmers world (i think its what its called) for more info. Its about origin of ADHD, as adaptment to hunting lifestyle over farming.
Btw, I like the cat next to your username!!!! Very powerful statement on the importance of cats in society!!!!

I am guessing that in some cases the tism makes up where the ADHD fails.
My second theory is that I am twice exceptional. So when it comes to English writing I excel but the moment you put me in any other environment the ADHD starts showing in its full diversity.

Because most of your reasons are down to a lack of understanding of other people.
Most people have deep specialised knowledge of things they like. For example, you say you know a lot about fictional settings. How many football players can you name? And yet a lot of people who can't tell you anything about halo could absolutely talk for ages about the transfer market. You just didn't see that because you don't care about it.

I mean that is always the last option and it is supposed to be the last option.
The first option is do it the nicest way that everybody likes and that works.
The second options is do it in a way where nobody is happy because they didn't get what they wanted but it still made things better.
The third option is to stop worrying about what people think and just get the job done.
The fourth option is to not care about right and wrong and do whatever you want because you want to do it. It's not about making anything better, just getting what you want.
The best thing you can do is to keep the worst options further and further down the list.
That's why intelligence is important, so that you can keep adding more and more options on the good side of the list before reaching the bad parts.

Getting diagnosed won't help with anything unless you want to get on medication. I think that shit should be avoided at all costs but it's your life not mine.
Just be a sperg. Try to find a spergy hobby so you mostly interact with fellow spergs. They will be less judgemental because they too will just be happy you're willing to tolerate them.
You're not gonna be able to hide it and medication will just make it so you care less that other people notice. So just yourself.
If you're capable of that, yes.

I have seen the drugs people get from their therapists turn them into mindless zombies. I'd rather be depressed than r-slurred. Adderall is the only one I don't see doing that but they get brain fog after a few years just like recreational stimulant enjoyers.
I don't have enough experience with this to tell you not to worry about it, but I can tell you that your written English is better than most native speakers. I'd imagine you could find work as a translator or tutor in an English speaking country. You'll catch some strange looks for being an immigrant, but it'll also cover for a lot of your idiosyncrasies.

I checked out the same 40k lore subreddit every single day across two to three years does that count?
No I have never in my life done anything continuously for 30 hours in 3 days except for that one time I learned to type around 60 to 70 words per minute over the course of a few days and that other time I tried to play continuous chess over multiple days until I had a mini breakdown because rank no go up because that's not how you learn chess. So yeah I do sometimes feel so guilt about the slow rate of change that I hyper fixate on completing a single thing that doesn't make me nervous or anxious.
I had difficulty with eye contact yes. I keep working on it every single day. I am almost as good as a normie at it now as I keep getting better at simulating outside perspectives.
I don't really socialize in person due to not having people around to socialize much with. I have tried to socialize far more now but I am only able to approach people when I have a function or action in mind or to assist them in some way. I have gotten better at it with practice. Right now I check on some neighbors exactly once a week on a sort of stable schedule and have specific dates once a week or once a month to contact and speak with friends across time.

yeah this is reinforcing autism being likely to me, i mean shit, obviously everyone is different, but i do get those same issues as a diagnosed sperg. (tho isnt there overlap with adhd/tism? idk)
would definitely look into it eventually though, even if it ends up just being adhd just getting on meds would probably make a huge change

True.
I would have liked to have enough earnings before hand before getting myself the diagnosis but maybe I just need to take the bullet and get the diagnosis first, the medicine to normie brain me so that I can then unfrick life enough to succeed even from where I am standing.
If I can improve myself every single day being an unmedicated sperg, I am very confident if you gave me the normie inducing medication you could max out my ubermenschen nature.
