There’s not really a definitive way of knowing you have adhd without going to a doctor, honestly. I’d suggest doing a lot of research though, since that’s what helped me figure it out

looking up the DSM 5 criteria and asking people around you and yourself if you fit them

You can use the DSM-5 (it's easy to find a free pdf online) which is the manual for diagnosis. It's an easy way to see if you'd meet the criteria for being diagnosed and has genuinely helped multiple of my friends realize they have ADHD
