Meanwhile I'm trying to get diagnosed as an adult but because I got good grades as a kid and didn't actively commit crimes all the time I'm being told that it's impossible that I have ADHD
It's so frustrating
nah my friend you "didn't get caught" next time they ask.
An ADHD diagnosis as an adult is hard. If it's impacting work (which if you have ADHD I don't see how it couldn't), your best bet is starting off with a licensed therapist. They can at least help you get things started, and help get you a recommendation to a psychiatrist. If the current clamp down on ADHD meds is any indication, it probably will have to be a specialized psychiatrist to get you diagnosed.
One of the things about ADHD is that the symptoms are life long, so there would be some indication that you had it as a kid. Your parents and siblings or close cousins are your best bet on that. You don't want to fish for the information, but get a general idea of what they know. It will help in your diagnosis, or at least get you into testing.
Yes it is critical to mention things from your childhood and how you masked and passed as typical. You may not think you were masking, but if you have ADHD you absolutely were. Think long and hard about this and don't forget to mention it in your interview.
Yep, I have a successful career and had... Ehh ok grades and I graduated college and everything.
The problem was I was basically in overdrive all the time and miserable just to get everything done.
I finally got a diagnosis. It's a lot easier than in the past. They tested me years ago and basically said I am very intelligent I'm just lazy.
Getting meds has been a challenge though. Not sure when that will happen for me...
I was told over the phone that my job was too difficult for me to have ADHD. Shit clinic. They even billed me for a bunch of overtime and fees that of course insurance denied coverage on. I got a much better, and cheaper, second opinion and was evaluated top 7% for ADHD symptoms.
I was able to get diagnosed this year. It wasn't easy at first then it was very easy at the end. I don't want to advertise how I did it but if you PM me I'll try to help you.
