ADHD symptoms can differ depending on your age and the type of ADHD you have (inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or combined type).

Difficulty organising certain tasks or activities
Trouble timekeeping
A tendency to lose belongings
A lack of attention to detail/making careless mistakes
Excessive fidgeting or squirming
Difficulty paying attention/listening to others
Interrupting conversations or cutting people off mid-sentence
Calling out answers to unfinished questions
Reacting impulsively and failing to consider consequences
Engaging in risky or dangerous behaviour
Difficulty maintaining relationships in adulthood
Avoiding “mundane” tasks such as cleaning, assignments, hygiene routines, etc.
