There’s already one comorbidity mentioned here, depression, but obviously there’s room for more like autism. If I had the skills I might’ve made a “slaps roof on car” meme version here, so you’ll just have to use your imagination. (Tough sell for someone with aphantasia).
the forgetting words and particularly names parts sometimes scares the hell out of me. i’m not that old but i’m like “is this early onset dementia”
I still feel like this is everyone and not really ADHD. I’m willing to bet a large percentage of people have most of these symptoms. If everyone has it, then no one does…
And before anyone says I’m dismissing it, I’m not, I’m just saying it’s kind of like anxiety. Literally everyone in the world who has lived and will ever live has anxiety probably everyday. Are there varying degrees, of course.

Doesn’t everyone have many of those things?
Yes, that’s how syndromes work. Having one or two of these things is expected. Having half of them isn’t.
To further this point, having half of these things can also be a thing for non adhd people… But, like most neurological diversities, it’s how often they occur and how much they impact your life that makes the difference.
Everyone forgets their wallet/keys/phone/glasses from time to time… When you forget multiple times a week forever? It’s different
