Hi riena,

sounds like it to me . but . I'm finding the diagnosis process takes into concideration with past behavior and even other doctors diagnosises even though they are different. its possible a doctor will rely on pathology and not what's going on with you as you see it. I believe this means they willl look at specific desiease paths,, that the consessus is that they take . And there are over laps .

about your prior drug use .

they have non stimulant meds out now such as strattera.

just keep writing down things as you are seeing them and keep researching ADHD .

Its your body /mind and only you know your past and can remember..
