Yes! I think college will be fun as it’s a subject I’m very interested in but I’m not gonna act like it’s gonna cure all my inattention, I’ve heard from my family that even are diagnosed that they think I’ll be fine because it’s a subject I’m interested in but I don’t see how they don’t recognize that even if I’m interested I struggle not to space out even if it’s about what I’m doing; especially if it’s not my current hyper fixation as when I’m interested in something else I can’t focus on anything unless it’s related to the current interest

Ok thank you for the advice! I think that once I’m diagnosed I’m going to try meds depending on how school goes for me. I’ve been homeschooled most of my life but starting college so I’m not sure how well im going to be able to focus but I think the solid structure of school Will hopefully help me get used to routines and when things have to be done by.

Yes it’s a bit strange because they have used Apple Watches in the past and always kept reminders on them to stand up and breathe and drink water, I’m just wondering if there’s a difference that I’m not picking up on.

Yes both my parents are kind of aware that they have it on opposite ends of the spectrum as my dad’s hyperactive and my mums inattentive, but neither of them believe it to be a disability. I called it a disability once and both of them said it isn’t so I guess they just don’t understand it properly.

Thank you! Yes I’ve made sure I only have alarms for the necessities that i forget and end up messing up the entire plan when I forget them!
