Realistically, no-one here is qualified to give you an answer on whether you might have it or not.
That's something you might want to bring up to a psychologist or a doctor, although some ASD/ADHD organisations might have tests for whether you might have something worth checking out.
As a head-start, you might want to look into the RAAS-D, and the ASRS, which are qualified tests to gauge the possibility of you having either ADHD or ASD. You could bring them in to show your doctor, and go from there.
Thanks, I'm not looking for a diagnosis, just signs which I can look for. I don't have the option of getting diagnosed sadly.
