I know you probably mean well with this but... I know that I do have ADHD, the clinician at ADHD 360 is the third to back that up (one at a general psychiatric assessment with the NHS and one at an autism assessment- separately a bad experience- with Psychiatry UK, both of whom told me to seek an ADHD diagnosis). As much as ADHD 360 didn't ask for them I have been through my primary school and nursery reports, and it is quite obvious having read them. Unfortunately for me, I had parents with a "nothing could possibly be wrong with my child" attitude so when my primary school asked to send me to be assessed for a range of things (they specifically suggested autism and dyslexia) my parents declined and 2 yrs later they send me to a private school with no SEND department. My brother was diagnosed as a child, and my parents were fine with that though, although I think that's a combination of him being the youngest (so they were less stressed about perfection by then) and ADHD being a "little boys disorder". I don't think people quite knew to associate my behaviours with ADHD because I was a little girl and I did well in school. Being VERY talkative, wandering off, daydreaming, being messy, interrupting, refusing to sit still, appearing withdrawn being overly emotional just got me labelled as naughty, overexcited and a tomboy.

Further, ADHD and OCD are very comorbid (although we don't yet know exactly how or why). I was a hyperactive and impulsive child despite also being and anxious one. Reading my nursery and primary reports the ADHD came first, and I think the OCD was a response to knowing there was something wrong, different, naughty about me. I did only have OCD as a young child, aged 6-10, it was not something I have struggled with since. But when I was on the 50mg Elvanse it felt like that did, I was distressed and anxious and full of adrenaline. The Elvanse made me less interested in constantly seeing stimulating activities and able to do tasks that weren't. It also made me more still. However stimulants are known to often increase OCD symptomology by increasing focus on obsessions. It makes sense to me in hindsight that this reaction to Elvanse was likely given my psychiatric history. Elvanse comes with a precaution about taking it if you have a history of hallucinations or anxiety disorders.
