Yeah the imposter syndrome is rather common among ADHD and ASD people as well. While ADHD doesn't directly effect long term memory, but it does effect recalling and saving ability aka cant really recall something the brain decided wasn't interesting enough to memorize and that's presuming the brain even decided it wants to try and recall something specific.
No worries, it can be mentally rather difficult to get the diagnosis, though once that is done it's like a weight being lifted from your shoulders.
But in the meanwhile, until you're ready. No one is stopping you in relating ADHD memes and using tips that help people with ADHD to deal with day to day life better. You can check out how to ADHD on YT, she seems to be one of the more healthiest approaches to dealing with all sorts of issues coming from it. Unless you already know that channel.
I haven't heard of that YT channel. Added it to my highly disorganized ๐ list of things to check out!
