If you're like me, you had a suspicion you might have ADHD and you dove into the rabbit hole of literature about it. As I kept going, I got past the initially expected symptoms in the previous section, and started to find myself in a near-constant shocked announcement to myself: "Wait, THAT thing is ADHD, too??"
I was going over my whole life through this new lens and it suddenly felt like all of these seemingly random struggles in my life all came back to ADHD. Each time I came upon a new trait, I would add it to a growing list.

Now I've compiled that list into a handy self-assessment of more than 60 traits, roughly categorized and showing all the random little (and not so little) pieces of life that are also part of ADHD — everything from the surprising ways we experience internalized hyperactivity to unusual eating habits (both examples of what's called interoception), to the many ways we can experience something called time-blindness.
