We won’t be able to answer you definitely on this part of the site as you need more of an evaluation. It does sound like you have some signs/symptoms of ADHD, but I would recommend you contact your doctor for an evaluation. If you still see your pediatrician, they would be quite familiar and able to make a diagnosis and help you with treatment if indicated.

There are several conditions that can mimic many of the features of ADHD. I am leery of anyone labeled ADHD who was not picked up with the condition before the age of 7. Have your doctor evaluate your problem. If no medical issues are found & it is worthy of an ADHD evaluation, they will know someone locally that can do so.
