I am in this, but I got tested and I'm "normal" even though in my 20s I'm pretty sure I would have been in the very high ranges.
I'd still say I have an ADHD brain with OCD tendencies, but I've managed to moderate both through a decade of exercise, caffeine, and sugar.
(Anecdotal, N=1) I think once your brain realizes in some sense that it can be productive despite its neuroses, the extremes peter out once the stress of your failures no longer hang over you.

What is extroverted introverted?
It's a way of describing that a person is willing to join social interaction, but also enjoys alone time
Isn't that everyone, more or less? We all need a balance between spending time with others, and time by ourselves.
If I don't get an appropriate amount of both on a regular basis I go crazy.
Someone who is too introspective for their own good

I'm curious, how many "Hawaiian pizza eaters" found out they had adhd or autism later in life?
I got diagnosed with both later in life, but I am definitely more on the introverted side of things. Maybe an introvert leaning ambivert at most.
ADHD and Autism require diagnosis.

What a weird way to say ambivert.
Yes.
