I think I may have ADHD (inattentive type) but my psychologist doesn't think I do (from our conversations and the way I present to her)... I'm wondering if she could be wrong?

I can relate to a lot of what is written about ADHD but accept my underlying process may be different and perhaps it's just 'me' (my personality/ poor attitude etc. after all)

Folks with ADHD, especially females, how does it present and what are your thinking processes when confronted with tasks (especially those you find tedious/ boring/ uninteresting)?

i have ADHD and when i have to do something there are two different situation 1) i like this task so much that i stop thinking to everything and i focus very very strongly on my task 2) i don't mind about my task and i start watching my laptop, my phone, my dog, my microscope, my books...
