"Here's the bottom line: If you have ADHD, by definition you have 'impairment' somewhere in life -- it's part of the diagnosis. If you're
distractible or a little impulsive and thriving across the board, then
you don't have ADHD. The impairment may affect self-esteem, daily
stress and relationships or far subtler matters like obesity, a lifetime
of late bills, or chronic, disabling procrastination. Seeking a
diagnosis isn't a treatment decision but may define the 'why' behind a
lifetime of struggle. It moves you one huge step toward understanding
how best to move forward."
My thoughts, exactly, only much better put, and backed up by medical knowledge I can only wish I had ever acquired. See here for the full article:
