Mid-forties and dealing with brain fog, forgetfulness, and difficulty focusing that's gotten noticeably worse over the past year or so. Genuinely can't tell if this is late-onset ADHD finally catching up with me or a perimenopause thing, and don't want to book the wrong kind of assessment and waste time and money.

Went through almost this exact confusion, ended up booking ADHD assessment first since I had some milder signs earlier in life that hadn't been a big deal until now, got diagnosed with ADHD but the provider also flagged the perimenopause overlap and suggested I get that checked too since both seemed to be contributing.
