Hi! My first instinct on reading your post, is that as an emerging to mid teen you are facing the hurdle of having to do things and talk about things that you just don’t want to really do – maybe for the first time you are challenging the expectations placed upon you. I think that you should continue to get in touch with the young adult that you are becomming. What is that you really like / enjoy / are good at / not so good at / prefer / dislike / find funny / desire / dream about ?Don’t immediately seek a label because you are not necessarily a straight ‘A’ student any more, but embrace your new inner voice and begin to learn who you are. Being dreamy and distracted is a wholesome part of teen life, and to me looks and feels like a different experience to having ADHD.Never say never, but for now, just know that your current experience is perfectly ‘normal’ ( for want of a better word ) and be confident that this is all part of growing into young adulthood. You are the right age to both feel and question the things that are being asked of you. All good so far!Spend more time on yourself and your private thoughts, wishes, dreams and expectations – I think you will be fine,Best wishes x
