Do people with ADHD have insight into their condition? (Plz answer only if u will help)?

Are they aware that they have this condition? or don't some people even know. I need this for my coursework and cant find the correct website. If you know any sites or can explain the answer to this question u will be a great help. Thanks

I always knew that something was off. My mind races, like it's faster than my body. It always has. I can't shut my thoughts off at night, and I would do things at weird times. Like scrubbing the oven at 2 am. Can't concentrate for the life of me at times. I always just thought it was due to stress and issues from when I was a kid. It bothered me that I couldn't sit down and read a book. Not that I didn't want to, I physically can't do it. I never thought it was something that had a name, just something I had to live with.
I didn't know what it was though until a Dr asked me a few things and told me that I was ADHD.
After that I started looking into it, and many of the things I have been having issues with fit what it is.
So no, many people with mental health issues don't know it, until it is brought to their attention, or happen upon the information and put two and two together.
