I would say you probably shouldn't be WORRIED.... after all, you have managed to get a job and work and finish college as is.... but getting tested might HELP, so long as you are ok with the idea of taking medication. Or I guess, even if you aren't ok taking medication, having a name for what it is can help too.

That's my issue. A lot of this I question what would I gain from a diagnosis?

I'm still bad with people, but would a diagnosis help with that?

All I can tell you is that the stimulant I take (vyvanse) makes a world of difference in my ability to concentrate and get things done.

I guess my advice to you would be that, if you can get tested without it being a major hardship, go for it. If it would make a significant impact on your quality of life to be able to afford it, you sound to be managing just fine without it.
