My ADHD Symptoms, and How I Got Diagnosed.
Note: Though I’ll be describing my childhood, these are still my adult ADHD symptoms, as in, I still deal with these things on a daily basis. I merely mention my childhood to illustrate how long I’ve been dealing with this, and the things that many missed. Also, this is only one particular answer to how to get diagnosed with ADHD; your story may be different from mine. That said, just to be sure we’re clear, this isn’t meant to be a diagnostic article. Please use this as a guide, but not as an answer. K, I’m done. On we go.

Sure, you can Google those ADHD symptoms and get some great answers — that’s what I did, and I found some pretty amazing articles — but sometimes you need to hear personal accounts. So here’s mine, and I hope it helps:
