i’m 27f and in the uk diagnosed as an adult too and feel the same even on my medication is says things like “ask a parent or guardian if you experience side effects” or the information sheet talks about how the medication affects a child  school work i find it’s really infantilising to even tell other adults that i have it i try to speak openly about my adhd but i get looks of pity and even some well-meaning people talk down to me as if i’m a child or some type of idiot i’ve told my new workplace that i have a “neurological condition managed by medication and regularly see a specialist for this issue” it seems to work because i’ve not been treated like an invalid by any colleagues so far
