I swear im gonna go for a diagnosis when I get round to it.

That's just it - everything in ADHD occurs in neurotypical land. Just with ADHD it's disruptive to your life on a regular/near-constant basis.
If you have multiple of these behaviours that occur frequently/are regularly disruptive, that's a good sign you may have a form of ADHD.
Being disruptive of your life is a significant part of the diagnosis.
The moving leg thing is a symptom of H in ADHD: hyperactive. Can't sit still. I have a friend in his 60's who does this, and has since he was a kid. He stumbles over his words, and always has. Total hyperactive type, though he's never been diagnosed.
ADHD is also a designation for a lifelong set of conditions that manifest early in life.
You can end up developing ADHD-like symptoms later in life, but the „late bloom” itself is a good reason to seek and treat underlying conditions.
And to correct a misconception, moving leg is a self stimulation thing. It’s not a hyperactivity manifestation, but a self-grounding action. On its own it’s entirely neurotypical.
„Attention deficit and hyperactivity” designation sits somewhere in the ballpark of „diabetes means your pee is sweet”. Technically correct, easily observable, but ultimately describes symptoms, not the causes underlying them.
"still" and "comfortable" are antonyms
Unless I'm burned out, lying horizontal on my couch, using the smallest possible gesture to continue doomscrolling.

This was why I started drumming as an adult. My legs where always bouncing and I wanted to do something with it.
Aah help, there is a pixel stuck in my eye
I literally am.
Fucking webp man... Anyone got a gif formatted version of this?
Lemmy converts everything to webp
I don't think it does. At least not universally. I just went to gifs and was able to download as a gif. It didn't convert to webp.
