Exploring an ADHD diagnosis sounds good too.
I will say the stuff you mentioned (at least on a surface level) does line up with how a lot of people experience ADHD - poor working memory, hyperfocusing on things, good practical skills.

It seems like you've recieved a lot of good insight from other fellow mixers. My personal take on your situation though is incredibly happy for you regarding medication. I first got diagnosed with depression when I was 10 and just now found a good medication that works for me. So congrats on that! As far as emotion regulation, it's tricky but to useful. It's my most helpful skill I've learned. And as others have said be aware that mental illnesses can often resemble each other and have similar traits. It's okay to be messy.
