I'm an adult and, like you, very likely to have it. Struggling to get tested. My GP says the services are too full. I've been advised by an ADHD charity that I can approach a private clinic [1] and then bill it to my GP, but my GP has said categorically that I can't do that. I've been told she's wrong. But still - all of this faff isn't ideal for an ADHDer so I'm struggling to push ahead with the diagnosis that I would really find helpful in my life.
I would advise printing out and going through the ADHD screener [2], taking it to your GP, and be prepared for them to not take it seriously so push back and insist. Good luck, friend!
