After I took an ADHD examination, I was turning my results in to the receptionist. I said “I think I did pretty good, yeah?” and they replied “you and your doctor will have a lot to talk about”.
My test administrator genuinely laughed while I was doing the test because I couldn’t stop asking questions/making comments about it.
Apparently that specific test is administered with a human present for exactly that reason. Clear as day indicator of Overactive Brain Disorder.
I was diagnosed at 5 originally but didn’t have any records of it because I stopped medication at 13, the earliest age my parents would listen to me about how bad I felt on medication (was on a super high dose they wouldn’t even give me as an adult, no wonder I hated it) and then raw-dogged the next 20 years, so they skipped a lot of the truly basic stuff and went right for a confirmation test of impulse control. Of which I have absolutely none.
