      Depends on how often you experience these symptoms! If you experience them daily or nearly constantly, it would be worth investigating.

      If you have some other mental-diversion like autism, bipolar or dyslexia then chances are high you have overlap with properties of other neurodivergent people.

      Its also possible to be “functional and normal” but still have a neurodivergent brain. Disabilities are subjective in context of the (social) world around you.

        Much like depression, everyone gets sad but not everyone is clinically depressed. All ADHD symptoms are experienced by neurotypical people, it’s about the frequency and severity of the symptoms that determines diagnosis. If you experience these symptoms on a daily basis, or nearly constantly, you should look into getting tested for ADHD.

        Neurotypical people experience most ADHD symptoms some of the time, but not at a frequency that significantly negatively impacts their life. Similar to depression, everyone gets sad but only some are clinically depressed.
