I started reading this book by Gabor Maté, a doctor who has ADHD. In just the first chapter, I felt seen in a way that I have never experienced with any therapist or psychiatrist I have consulted in almost 47 years.

I don't want to take away from Matés book helping you/being a good read, but they are a layman when it comes to adhd.

Dr. Russel Barkley often has videos analysing Matés opinions, which are well worth a watch (and he is great with quoting sources so free rabbit holes disappear into)

e.g.: Playlist of his Maté videos, beware youtube link
