Please do embrace neurodiversity!
Please do not identify yourself as ADHD, autistic, etc. based solely or largely on an online quiz.
Your first point of reference to how these terms are most widely defined should probably be the current DSM (ADHD, autism spectrum disorder) or ICD definitions for each condition, and for different conditions that could explain the same symptoms, and keeping in mind that some symptoms are also explained by conditions and circumstances that aren't clinical diagnoses, and that both formal definitions and common usages change over time.
Becoming eligible for official accommodations from your educational institution for a neurodiverse condition typically requires a diagnosis from a professional acceptable to the institution. For example, here are TESU's documentation guidelines for disability accomodation requests, with links to further information about disability accommodations and resources.
