That is somewhat concerning for myself, I do offload to my notes and to my code my memory, but I started having problems memorizing in high school, somewhat related to my complete rejection of somebody asking me to memorize something just because they said so, instead of being useful.
But then, I do remember programming language libraries that I use often, so it can't be ADD

But seriously - remembering some things does not disqualify you from the diagnosis, just like not remembering doesn't confirm the diagnosis. If you're actually concerned, maybe talk to a professional.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 2y agoThat's a good point. Maybe, but I'm also able to perform all the functions I need to in my life, so I'm not sure I would be open to take any medication (that could potentially affect my life negatively).
- Doxin 2y agoJust because you've gotten a diagnosis doesn't somehow obligate you to use medication. If your life is on track as-is you can skip the medication. Might be worth pondering if getting a diagnosis is even relevant, What will you do differently if it turns out you have ADD? What if you don't?
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 2y agoIt would have helped in school, at this stage in life I'm good. I'm successful and happy (by my standards), I don't see a reason for changing anything. I could probably go higher in the career ladder, but that could affect happiness negatively
