How do I know if I have it or not? I am procasinator and I just cannot study until tests are coming up very close. When i try to study in an 8 hour day sometimes I get 30 minutes of work done. I graduated undergrad and masters with a 3.7+ both and in Medical school now but I think I can't cram and I am not sure if it is me being lazy or ADHD for me :/
I have a Master's in Engineering with high grades and was a med school hopeful, but couldn't manage self-planning such a difficult application process.
You can be smart and still have ADHD. I was diagnosed at 26. The only reason I succeeded in university was because of the structure of courses based on their outlines. But I always felt like i was running out of time just to keep up; no part time job, no social life, no nothing.
Hoping meds will help when I get them.
TLDR: you can have a high IQ and ADHD. It's a misconception that you can't. While you're in school, ask to see the psychiatrist.
