Interesting I’ve just been researching this. Half my family have (what I suspect is) ADHD and the other half have thyroid disorders. One aunt (paternal) actually has hashimotos an other (maternal) a goiter.

One thing I’ve come upon several times is the linnk between ADHD, thyroid disorders (hyper and hypo), insulin/glucose disorders, and food (mostly gluten) intolerence/celiac disease.

So have your dr. do the whole batch of tests (keep in mind blood tests for food intolerance antibodies often come back negative with an autoimune disorder like hashimotos so an elimination diet may be more helpful) to rule out any other concerns.
