Man, that’s exactly how I got diagnosed again as an adult. I was taken off of medication and all that when I was 12, so I thought I didn’t really have ADHD. Years later, I’m watching a video of “you might have ADHD if…” for laughs and it went something like:
You were “cured” too? Once I wasn’t hyperactive anymore, doctor said I was cured and it was nearly 35 years later that the memes helped realize that I wasn’t lazy, just fucked in the head.

Yup. It seems that whenever you stop being quite as inconvenient to neurotypicals, suddenly “you’re fine, you just need to apply yourself”.
