I'm convinced I'm ADHD/autistic. My doctor says I'm 'fine' because I have a job and don't fail classes. But I'm struggling so much internally—is that not enough?

My experience is valid but apparently not *diagnosable* enough.

How did you get a diagnosis when people around you said you were fine? What changed?
