I'm asking because I may have ADHD, but it's hard for me to figure out if I do. Any ideas on how I can figure that out? I plan to eventually get assessed for ASD, and if I think ADHD may be likely, I'll get assessed for that as well.

I will often start lots of things but never finish any. I will often overwhelm myself and I have issues with executive function. For me my ADHD tends to hide and goes unseen but its still there waiting to strike. Also some things for me take a lot longer like a lot of school stuff for me takes me way to long. Your ADHD might hide a bit more like mine but look at memories from the past like things you did in school and you will be able to see it.
