This comment is so funny to me, because I imagine you being distracted to make the comment before making it to the end where the psych did indeed review the new results.

Well I only know that because I skipped to the end. Then, while scrolling up I realised I missed the whole side-quest about promising to not cheat the test again, taking the test again, but then "accidentally" finding an exploit the system, and then cheating the test again, but this time cheating even more to see the results.

Then, scrolling up more I see that this whole thing started with seeing stars and then buying a telescope on amazon (probably at 3am).

And here I am commenting on HN instead of replying to an email...

I know this is a joke, but I'd be careful about assuming: I had a trained therapist diagnose me with ADHD ... incorrectly.

It turns out, there are other conditions out there that can appear to be be ADHD. If a trained therapist can confuse them, outside observers certainly can too, so it is possible that "very ADHD-acting" person you know might not have it.

(Or, especially for females, the reverse can be true, as not everyone with ADHD manifests with the same trademark hyperactivity.)
