Except for those people with crippling ADHD, who never get to build a career, have trouble maintaining meaningful relationships and succumb to the overhead and additional stress of having to try life on hard mode.

Let's not pretend those people don't exist or that ADHD is not a problem for adults any longer, in particular in places where healthcare is not readily accessible.

My family doc unironically told me that adults can't have adhd, and kids grow out of it. I don't even know where to start.

If you're in the US I can PM you the name of the service I used to get diagnosed. First attempt I was given what I later learned was a very outdated test, after which I was told "your job is too hard for someone with ADHD".

Alas - I am in Canada. Many thanks though!
