My wife went to get evaluated for ADHD. Before doing so, she researched what that might entail and found that many prospective ADHD sufferers found the evaluations easier if they made a list of their behaviors that they believed to be symptomatic.
She did so, a rather extensive list in fact, and brought it to the doctor. I wasn’t there, but apparently she got one or two items in before the doctor (who, to be fair, had been seeing her for general health for a while) said “stop. You obviously do have ADHD.” I guess it was that clear.
I’ve never been diagnosed with anything, but I don’t think I’m neurotypical. As such, I couldn’t tell you what behaviors of my wife’s were normal or otherwise, but she does seem a lot happier and in more stable moods since she got medicated. Took a while to get the medication right for her, though.
Yeah some people you can just tell. I have a friend who mentioned she thinks she might have it and everyone at the table was surprised that she hadn’t already been diagnosed.
