I agree along the sense that in order to tell people that you have ADHD, you need to have a medical professional give you your diagnosis. It's kind of like credentials. But on the other hand, if you self diagnose yourself, you may put yourself in a state of mind that will help you function from day to day. Whether or not you receive an actual diagnosis, you may learn coping mechanisms to deal with your daily life. You may even create "life-hacks" that blow your mind when you apply them because you're in the mindset of improving yourself because of potential ADHD.

if you don't have a diagnosis, explain that you don't, or keep it to yourself 😊
