My kids got screening forms for ADHD and I just kept saying “but this is normal” after almost all of the questions, I thought they were control questions not screening questions, and my kids were like “no, Mom, you have ADD”. I still tend to think it’s pretty typical though, more like our brains just weren’t evolved for modern life.
I am trying to get diagnosed as an adult and recently reached out to my parents for symptoms from when I was younger as those are necessary for adult diagnosis. My mom had pretty much the same reaction as you when I went over the symptoms. Lol ADHD is genetic.
