Should I have someone evaluate me for ADHD?

My D is very introverted and has a hard time suppressing thoughts that come in to her head. She was diagnosed with ADHD when she was little but it has not appeared to be a problem for the last 7 years. She does exceptional in school, but she often spaces out and does not pay attention to the teacher’s lecture because of this. On the ACT reading, the only section she struggled with, she gets about a 21 and is only able to accurately read two passages, half the test. She tells me that she has some trouble suppressing her thoughts when she reads and often has to reread things several times to understand them. Should I get her evaluated for ADHD or not?
