That's actually not true at all. If you got the TOVA test, it specifically states in their instructions that it will not diagnose someone who does that type of job for a living because you're immune to the tests criteria. So you could score a perfect normal score and still be very very ADHD.

It was the Conners Continuous Performance Tests Third Edition. I pressed spacebar when something popped up except for the letter "X". I play video games in my freetime so reacting like that is fairly normal for me, even if its for 10 minutes.

I really doubted the validity of the diagnosis. But going through that 8 month process again seems draining.
