If you don’t need medication, then a diagnosis doesn’t has much more to offer honestly. The same stategies you can discover without a diagnosis as well. Look for ADHD meetups in your area perhaps, or ask around here or in !adhd@lemmy.world

Good advice, thanks. I am not ruling out medication, but I would hesitate to put one of my kids on it if they were diagnosed and so I am hesitant for the same reasons. The reason I’d like a diagnosis though is that I am pathologically unable to act without data. I’d feel like a complete imposter at an ADHD event unless I was sure I was one of the ranks.

Perish such thoughts. None of us cares to ensure your “adhd purity”. If you feel you find value from adhd coping mechanisms, then you are welcome to the knowledge

thanks, I do appreciate it. it’s a me problem though that I’m working on.

part of it is I suffered a brain injury last year and I’m still unsure if my faculties are fully intact.

Believe it or not most people with adhd are pretty accepting of other people. I’ve never seen anybody with adhd try to gatekeep.

I hope you find what you’re looking for :)

Funny, this is pretty common in people with ADHD or neurodivergents in general.
