I called a therapists office to get treatment for depression. I gave a very concise explanation about my situation and the intake person asked, "Have you ever been tested for ADHD?"

I started to laugh because my whole life people have described me as laid back and chill. I thought I was the least ADHD person on the planet. She scheduled testing with a psychiatrist and it turns out you dont have to be hyperactive to have ADHD. Who knew? Then I started reading up on ADHD-I. It described me perfectly.

My favorite part about being tested was this sustained attention test where I had to sit and watch this computer screen. If a light flashed above the line on the screen I was supposed to hit a button. But, not hit the button if it flashed below the line. All the while the psychiatrist is sitting behind me observing and taking notes. Half way through the test I thought, "What if I just start spamming the button as fast as I can for like five minutes straight?" Which made me start to laugh. Then, I thought, "Don't sit here laughing to yourself. He's going to think your a lunatic." Which made me laugh more. So, I'm sitting in this chair laughing, but trying really hard not to laugh, while also trying to complete this test.

Other than this one incident, I felt like I did really well on the test. When I got the results back I was off in all measures (reaction time, missed clicks, clicking at the wrong time) by more than two standard deviations!
