Hi @SingDanceRunLife

Congrats on finally having someone who is willing to listen and explore ADHD things with you!

I don't know for certain what the conversation might be like. From my own experience, it was a somewhat short checklist of questions about things including behavior, thoughts, approaches to time management, among other things. And it was only an evaluation from the DSM, to diagnose and treat my ADHD with medication (I don't have an ADHD-specific therapist, so it might be different or even a deeper conversation than I know).

But if you want to explore other evaluative resources, and "what it's like to have ADHD" sorts of articles, I suggest the ADDitude website (additudemag.com). It's completely dedicated to ADD/ADHD, and has a number of screening/evaluation questionnaires.

A good place to start is the ADHD Symptoms in Adults: ADD Checklist & Test, (Do I Have ADD? ADHD Symptoms in Adults: Checklist and Tests). It also has links toward the bottom of the page to further resources (additional questionnaires, other articles, etc.)

I've learned and realized a lot from viewing the many posts, articles, literature, and other resources on the site.

But please be aware, the website is HUGE!

If you tend to be inclined towards getting caught up in websites for hours, following article and link after article and link, I suggest you set a few timer alarms to help pull yourself out of getting swallowed up by the sheer abundance of information...

One more suggestion is the following video, which is an interview by the host of the youtube channel "How to ADHD". The interviewee is a 40-something father recently diagnosed with ADHD, and talks about what happened: What it's Like to be Diagnosed with ADHD as an Adult (What it's Like to be Diagnosed with ADHD as an Adult - YouTube).

The "How to ADHD" youtube channel has been really helpful to me, so I suggest exploring her videos, too.

I hope this helps! Good luck!
