I've read a lot (a LOT) of posts here and elsewhere that made me suspect I have ADHD. I made an appointment to get evaluated. Just curious about other people's experiences.

Mom took me to the doctor when I was like a toddler and having sleeping problems or something and the doctor decided I had ADHD and tried prescribing meds (which my mom refused). Not sure when I learned about this though and if I already thought I probably had ADHD before I found out. I certainly remember one of my friend's dad commenting about how I couldn't sit more than other kids when I was like 7yo.
