I'd get checked again by someone else. I was diagnosed while i was in the army and they told me there are 3 types of ADHD: Focus-based, hyper activity, or both. I'm the most laid back guy, I'm patient to a fault. My parents refused to get me tested when i was a kid because i could play video games for hours and I obviously can't have a focus or hyper-activity disorder if I can sit for hours focusing on a video game, right? If you feel unable to sit down a get something done on a regular basis, get tested. It's not a once and a while thing. It's all the time. If you feel like your life is being negatively effected by your inability to act on things, it's probably ADHD.
what was your diagnoses? Cause I'm the same way, laid back, can sometimes get lost in games or shows for plenty of time, but with most things it's like people describe above, doesn't matter if i prepare, things are getting done at the last possible second, always, and they have to be emergencies
