I have the belief that ADHD is both over and under diagnosed. If you mask or compensate, even hyperactive or combined get passed off as “quirky behaviour”, loss of structure was massive for a lot of people getting diagnosed during the lockdowns, while I was in that boat too I had already been working towards getting an eval for years.
Also super annoyed about the hoops we have to jump through to get treatment, feel like I’m a criminal for having my meds and I have to call in a refill every single time I need them, the entire processes to even get diagnosed is almost hostile to ADHD (multiple appointments, evaluations, shit my psych gave me homework)
