I realized I’m ADHD the same way you did. When my son at about 21 was diagnosed he encouraged me to look at a list of “symptoms “ I was flabbergasted.
Never took medication but using the insight to navigate life has been extremely helpful. The most important has been taking notes during phone conversations of information I want to remember and hyperfocusing on people who need me to listen well and when I’m driving in unfamiliar places.

Ugh! I have ALWAYS hated driving in unfamiliar places! I feel like I can't find all the signs and lights and it's all coming at me at once! If I have to go to the city (San Francisco) I'm a basket case the whole time and exhaused when I get home! One of the things that I learned before I even knew I had ADHD was that chewing gum in church helped me pay attention to the sermon and to not fidget so much. It helps in bible study too!! Bible study is the hardest because I never get enough sleep since I have to get up so early to be there by 9. I go to church out of town so it takes 40ish minutes to get there and I have to get up in time to get myself ready and feed the critters. My husband doesn't stop snoring loudly, yelling and thrashing until about 3am. No sense even trying to go to bed before that!
