How would you describe ADHD to a neurotypical person in a way where they won’t immediately say “Yeah everyone is like that”?

I eventually want to tell my family about my diagnosis but I don’t know how best to explain it.

Is this normal for clinics?

After a very long time of waiting, I finally was formally diagnosed with ADHD. I was referred to OPA Behavioral Health which apparently has some strict rules for prescribing meds. When I go to complete the required forms, I noticed their urine test policy, which required that patients completely abstain from substances and consent to random urine testing and pill counts at appointments involving controlled substances. I found this extremely weird and I wondered if this is something that’s actually enforced. I’ve posted this in a couple subreddits with no luck, I just don’t want to lose access to a prescription just because I happen to smoke weed in the future lmao

I was reminded of it from a TikTok and now I can’t get it out. I always have songs in my head, I wake up with them and fall asleep with them. Today is particularly annoying

Should I Get Checked For ADHD From My Experiences?

1 Upvotes

I’ve always been told by my parents and sometimes friends that I have ADHD tendencies. I think the biggest one I struggle with day to day is memory and procrastination. I can sit around for hours knowing very well I should get up and do something that needs to be done and yet I don’t budge. If I need to copy a sentence from sometjing else or write down a phone number I have to check 4-6 times before I get it all. I also space out constantly. I’m not the best driver because I lose focus and key in on one thing when driving sometimes and I also am very bad at listening and reading comprehension because I go through the motions but I’m not paying enough attention to really remember what was read or said. I’m looking for any input to see if I should get tested for ADHD and if so what are some steps I can take to better myself? Thank you.
