Remember ADHD is one of the most overdiagnosed psychiatric conditions. Many children in the past had been wrongly diagnosed with it. It is rarer in adults. So it's always prudent to take a professional help in making (or discarding) a diagnosis and make further plans.

Let the diagnosis of any neuropsychiatric or developmental disorder be done by a psychiatrist. Do not self diagnose anything. Visit a doctor.

For the diagnosis you need to visit a Psychiatrist.
Later , I would suggest you to consult a Psychologist too for counselling sessions which would give you a better clarity about yourself and your future.
