What are common signs of adult ADHD?

A direct answer, plus the context behind it.

Short answer

Common signs include trouble starting or finishing tasks, chronic lateness or poor sense of time, losing track of things, inner restlessness, and a pattern of underperforming relative to actual ability, despite genuine effort.

Adult ADHD often looks different from the hyperactive-child stereotype, and many adults were never evaluated as children.

A proper evaluation helps rule out anxiety, depression, or sleep problems that can produce similar symptoms.
