“But you’re coping so well”
Keeping order at work and in your calendar can cost you far more energy than others. That’s ADHD too.
Ten projects started, none finished
A new task gives you energy, and finishing one takes the most of it. That can be ADHD.
“You work best under pressure”
A deadline and adrenaline help you focus. Without them, even a simple task is hard to start. That can be ADHD too.
Meetings that leave you with nothing left
Noise, conversation and constant switching wear you out more when you have ADHD or are autistic.
Nothing left for home in the evening
All day you compensate and adapt to others. Exhaustion after work can be the price of that masking.
A routine that calms you, then wears you down
Sometimes that is AuDHD: needing predictability and novelty at once. It can have other causes too.
Everything at the last minute
Not a lack of will. You put things off even though you really want to do them sooner. That can be ADHD too.
Lists, reminders and constant checking
Ways you have built up over the years to keep going. Being well organised doesn’t rule out ADHD.
