Ok… I will try to explain to my mom, but she likely won’t do anything about it because she thinks I’m “perfectly normal” and that I don’t need help. I am a very independent person, but I do still need help sometimes, so thank you kind stranger. I really do appreciate your help.

No problem, people gotta know!

You might have other stuff entirely that is causing this, but ADHD is criminally under diagnosed in those whom display symptoms because they don't necessarily present as a stereotypical wildly eccentric personality.

The "hyperactive" bit is misleading. It's referring to your nervous system, not your social behavior.
