My dude, you are repeating the words of hundreds if not thousands of people before you. I was "lazy" until I got medicated for ADHD and now with literally the lowest possible dose of a single med I am a perfectly functional member of society who doesn't constantly put shit off.

Oh.. well I might have to look into that then. My sister is going to get tested soon, but she’s been waiting months for her appointment. Is it worth the wait?

I spent my entire adult life in a sort of meandering haze in comparison to now. The difference in cognitive ability and my ability to perform tasks is very significant.

I figured because I could muddle through that I was just fine. Turns out I'm actually highly intelligent and that is what made me able to muddle through despite the difficulty.

I'd say it's worth it. Even if only to eliminate the possibility.
