My mom was the one that didn’t think adhd existed at all. Even with psychs and teachers telling her that I have it severely.

She was recently diagnosed off the cuff by her psych and when she told me I was like “so does it exist now? Do you believe in it now?” And her only response was “god cameranotfound, that was so long ago. Can’t you get diagnosed too?”

I fucking have, but getting an actual psych to do an eval to be able to get me medication is damn near impossible. Thanks mom.
