It sounds like trolling because it's so typical of those of us with late diagnoses. We also believed this about ourselves prior to getting evaluated.

Definitely not trolling no. My comments are genuinely how I am but I don't think that because I put things off until the last minute that it's anything out of the ordinary. I am actually now a bit curious because more than one person is saying the same thing but I'm not going to self diagnose based on comments on the internet.

The thing that makes people with ADHD think they don’t have ADHD is the “hyperactive” part. Not everyone with adhd is actually hyperactive, but if you find be yourself unable to muster the motivation to do things you know you’re supposed to do, but the ability to hyper focus on things you want to do, that’s incredibly characteristic of ADHD.

Me not emailing my negative UDS and EKG results to my psych until the day of my diagnosis.

Instead for that week I was procrastinating, trying to unspaghetti my NixOS installation, installing a PS2 emulator to play a title that dankpods reminded me of.

I'd been beating myself up over this shit for years, people in my life too just thinking I'm lazy and disorganised. Only took me until 36 to get a diagnosis 🤘 Happy I did.

Many mental health issues have procrastination and/or executive dysfunction as a symptom.
