As I understand it ADHA is one of those spectrum conditions like Dyslexia so a single diagnostic test may not be enough.

For example I have a stellar reading ability but my written work and spelling is awful.

I've often wondered if Dyslexia and attention deficit disorders are connected and/or occur together. I was diagnosed with Dyslexia when I was quite young but it was before the greater awareness of AD-disorders. I've not tried Adderall but have tried Modafinil which worked as advertised.
Me too as I am not the best at short term memory etc I once ended up on a train to Wembley when I was supposed to be in Wimbeldon :-)
Someone I know was diagnosed with both as well. You might be on to something there.
