god this post brought me right back to a doctors appointment i had years ago where the doctor told me straight to my face that it was impossible for anyone over 18 to have adhd i had just moved to a new city and tried explaining that i have had multiple doctors in the past diagnose and treat my adhd and ended up crying and walking out of the office because he was being so rude and adamant that it was truly impossible for an adult to have adhd reaching out for help is hard enough and these stigmas and false beliefs make it worse
