Perhaps it would help you put less emphasis on your own goals and help those around you. I don't know how else someone would answer this question, because obviously the problems that a lot of people with ADHD suffer from are not the ones you have. But that's one area where it's helped my partner understand some of my shortcomings. You haven't admitted a single shortcoming, and perhaps that's part of the problem that an ADHD diagnosis would help. Almost like a semi-functional alcoholic not realing that despite a successful career, they always smell like alcohol and do nothing but spend time drinking.
They wouldn't be exploring this unless it was presenting an issue that's reasonably explained by this, so I'd say it's worth doing. It may or may not be helpful, but putting your goals ahead of therapy seems unwise. And actually now that I think about it, this is one of the things an adhd diagnosis did help me with. Perspective. I'm much less self-absorbed and try to be more open and caring where I catch myself being dumb.
