    Hmm I feel this way sometimes but never considered having ADHD. Are there mild versions of ADHD?

      It could be time blindness and executive dysfunction not connected to ADHD. There isn’t really a mild version of ADHD, but some people get it worse than others. There are also subtypes, like hyperactive or inattentive, and each acts differently. You can always do an online screening to see if your symptoms are in the ballpark.

        That test seemed fine until…

        What does my gender have to do with it?!

        And can’t they just put the answer up? Not giving my email. Test results DENIED

          Gender can affect how it presents. For example it seems easier to catch in males vs females. Females tend to be more often inattentive vs hyperactive, though personally I keep scoring combined type. It’s different from person to person. Most of these screenings ask for email. I’ve probably taken every screening test on the damned internet at this point and most ask for emails. Make a fake email if you have too. I have my spam emails for stuff like this so my main email doesn’t get bogged down.
