Im quite sure I dont have ADHD, and I can absolutely relate. When I finally wrote my last exam of my highschool everyone was kinda hyped afterwards and I was like "and now? That's it?"

I'm no brainologist but I wonder if things like this might be more related to autistic cognition. There seems to be something similar in the space of not attaching the same significance to events others find emotionally charged.

Nah this is purely a malfunction in the rewards and punishment functions of the brain that keeps you motivated. Autistic people don't have any problem with motivation unless they have some other diagnosis. If there is a connection, it would be with something like depression or RADS.

I was quite sure I didn’t have ADHD, too.

Not feeling a sense of accomplishment is not normal. You deserve better. Just check into it, okay?
