My 14yo just diagnosed ADHD. Looking back, signs were obvious at 7, 10, 12. Multiple doctors missed it. Years of struggle that could've been prevented.

System failure has costs.

How do you process anger about missed diagnosis?

Vet clinicians with one good question and watch how they react. Curiosity is a green flag; defensiveness is your answer.
