This is more or less my view, except I can see some benefit to trying to narrow down a possible cause, because it might lead you to some useful coping strategies. There are cases of mild autism that can look a lot like some forms of ADHD, and seeing if you can figure out which it is you struggle with (if not, of course, both) can be helpful.
Of course sometimes its just a case of "Huh, wonder if that's what that's always been about?"
(I should note I'm also kind of U.S.-centric in my view of this, where in some socio-economic spheres getting the money and time to even get cursory mental health treatment is non-trivial, and the stigma of doing so is a lot more pronounced--even among the people who should be getting it).
