As an AuDHD person, the college dropout story is relatable to me, except for the YouTube career success. I grew up in a madhouse during my traumatic childhood, and going to college free from my backwards, overprotective, overly strict parents was essentially like falling off a cliff. I was already burnt out during my last year of high school, and I was too excited with the freedom and ended up wasting time playing video games and skipping classes regularly because I had little energy to function as an adult. I still struggle with burnout to this day due to being an overworked IT contractor for years.
Thr venn diagram looks real circular here. If it is an option I would get evaluated. My GP just gave me the pills to try and asked me if it helped after. The psych doc wanted we to do a weird computer test though. So your milage may vary on that
