Ok, I had a preauricular sinus, which I have had removed because of later complications (apparently is more common, but I can't find the specific data) and probably dyspraxia (of which diagnosis I won't seek, as I have already had enough trouble with the great Slovenian medical system (at least we have public health insurance)(as you can see, I also can't shut up if that's in the DSM)).

Well, I did think I have ADHD many times, bit you can never know what's just a part of ASD and what ADHD, but I probably don't have it. I'm not doubting your conclusion, but what bought you to this?

General lack of organization, forgetfulness, cant muster enough focus for most things that aren't my passion but i can hyperfocus on things that interest me.

Oh, thanks. Now I won't have intrusive thoughts about having undiagnosed ADHD.
