I was formally assessed with combined-type ADHD last year. The hyper part can mean that you have a hyper mind that keeps racing. It can also mean that you fidget with your hands / feet a lot like stimming, as opposed to running about in circles. All these years I didn't think I was hyper but once they explained it to me, it made perfect sense. I can't even sleep well because my mind is always going, making connections, making conjecture, worrying, ruminating, or thinking about things I have to do. The testing was longer than my ASD diagnosis at about 20 hours, but I'm confident they made the right decision and my medication has helped a lot, even emotionally.
My daughter is in the middle of her own ADHD testing right now online. She's met with the neuropsychiatrist, the psychologist, and the psychometrist, and we've each done a slew of questionnaires. She has two more lengthy sessions. The doctor told her after the first appointment that she has ADHD based on her intake papers and their session together, but now the appointments are pinpointing which medication will be best suited to her needs. Incidentally she is also ASD. It's common for people to have ADHD if they are also on the spectrum.
Good luck, Joe! I hope you get a thorough exam!
