VTboy-
What you describe sound more like problems with executive function (organization, planning, problem-solving, initiating, etc). While this can be a characteristic of ADHD, there are other things that present with organizational/executive function problems. Ditto for spelling problems. Dyslexia is not a disorder of spelling. I strongly suggest you see someone who can help you with proper diagnoses-- Your self diagnoses aren’t accurate.
editYou are throwing terms around that it sounds like you are not very familiar with. That does both you and people with genuine disorders a disservice.
