I am medicated for ADHD, and my goal is to one day get off the meds, maybe in 5-10 years. Sounds like you've been functioning pretty well without them, which is a great reason NOT to start.
Have you gotten any encouragement from people in your life to investigate ADHD, or is it just this therapist? I was encouraged by teachers and loved ones to look into it starting in grade 2, finally got a diagnosis about 5 years back.
