Wow thank you. I always thought ADHD was about people having problems focusing by not being able to do so, and other problems like sitting still, that I don't really feel I have.

Now, I can focus, incredibly well, I guess it's called hyperfocus :-) Now it has a name, thanks!

Also being called out because I doodle during meetings (among other things) and the idea that some people just can't not do several things at the same time, well that hit home 100%.

I think I need to think about this a bit, it feels like I finally found out what's up with me, any advice greatly appreciated.

If it helps, when I was a kid, the conventional wisdom was "girls don't get ADHD." Which is why I didn't get diagnosed until I was about 36.

Nowadays, we know better. And we can use that knowledge to do better! Which is why I'm finally in college.
