ADHD is both overdiagnosed and underdiagnosed at the same time for me... I blame misinformation and overall confusion regarding ADHD... When I talked about my symptoms to others, a common answer I would get is "common among people" - if my pratically extreme executive dysfunction and lower leg muscle destroying hyperactivity was actually common among people than the global society wouldn't last a week

Even with this, I feel like the person is still "gatekeeping" ADHD. I can understand where they are coming from, but there are many undiagnosed adhd people around after all...

I have ADHD and although she’s not interested in a diagnosis, I’m positive my wife has it.

"global society wouldn't last a week" part made me giggle (but yeah, same)
