But if your finding yourself constantly relating to such things, then it might be a good indicator to look into things more or talk to a good therapist

Absolutely. It's just important to point out that the symptoms of adhd are things that everyone experiences. It becomes a disorder with frequency, being unable to control it, and it significantly negatively impacting your life.

Not too different from OCD in that aspect.

What about an adult who didn't manage to complete higher education due to suspected ADHD but now bumbles through life somewhat respectably and makes good money so really those relatively mild "relatable" symptoms can't be said to have a "significant negative impact"?

...... asking for a friend....

(for real tho, I'm pretty positive that if that friend got diagnosed the only thing to come out of that would be "be more disciplined" which, yeah, my friend doesn't need a therapist to tell them that)
