To be diagnosed as an adult, you also need to have had it as a child. ADD/ADHD is not something that typically has an onset in adulthood.

Her answers confirmed that I had it as a kid. Some of her answers were funny. "I wouldn't call you hyper, but I could never get you to shut up." When my Mom learned of this diagnosis, she was kind of mad that no one picked up on it sooner. It would have saved us both a lot of misery.
