I am 99% sure I am ADHD

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.

ah no I am touchy about drug experimentation. I don't like authority figures but I like the structure that rules provide as long as they make sense.

The rules dont make sense since when does common sense tell you to provide amphetamines to children?

I mean the results determine the course of action not the feelings.

that is just the idea that the ends justify the means reworded. The same people who control the world use that attitude to justify their own abhorrent plans and behavior.

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.

yeah most psychoactive meds will absolutely frick you over longterm. Can't say all because I am not a qualified doc, but assume that they will all have some side effects.

Yeah I can't do that. My highly active mind is the one thing I got going for me when it gets on the right track. i won't make it without it.
