They both knew how hard driven task oriented I'd always been so they knew that diagnosis was nothing but foolishness.
Parents know their children, and knowing what's going on might help your relationship in the long run. Give them a chance. You might need them later in life so don't blow them off.

----i have those spaced out spells too. Also family history. Only my dad who was an alcoholic was always there for me knowing what its like to be different.
Lots of impatient treatment from those who didnt WANT to get it
