ADHD Parents: do you find yourself projecting your symptoms on your children?

Last week I had a teacher meeting with my son's pre-school (he's 4 years old). While generally he got a good report, there were a couple of flags that reminded me of myself growing up. Having been diagnosed and treated for the first time at age 32, I've thought a lot about the pros/cons of a later in life diagnosis. With my son however, I'll know better to be on the lookout and will have to decide if/when to medicate (should he actually have ADHD).

The things they said which stood out aren't a huge deal, but they are things like: he's in his own world a lot, he is in a constant state of imaginative play, plays in this imaginary world a lot by himself (less so with other kids), and while he's very smart, he doesn't actually seem to be paying attention to "lessons" during circle time (in his own world during lessons, doesn't participate).

I don't know if I'm projecting my own experience (daydreamer, in my own world, didn't pay attention, bored in school, etc.) on him or just oversensitive to the ADHD criteria. How do other parents deal with these types of things as your kids get older? Thanks!
