Yes, I agree with Shutterbug55. Results may vary.

I got diagnosed very quickly. That was over a decade ago. And I’d done a lot of reading and prep work, so I was able to list the issues I was having that were common to ADHD adults, like, “Lots started but not much finished.” “Problems with paperwork.” “Bluritn gout or interrupting.” and dozens more.

It also helped that my G.P. had referred me to a psychologist specializing in ADHD who clearly had ADHD, knew it, and had made huge progress in handling it. While my doctor was free, the specialist was, and continues to be, paid by me. (Yes, even in Ontario and Canada you pay for many medical services.)
