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.

My province until very recently had the same stance and so all the docs did as well.

It is infuriating. I don't even know if I'd want the meds. But I'd like to have someone with expertise be like 'yes, that thing you have thought you are dealing with your whole damn life, and is reflected in every damn ADHD post making you cry at the idea that you are not alone, is real'
