I'm a little confused, I know based on my whole life experiences that I do indeed have ADHD; but I don't know how I should tell my doctor about it? I mean, it's disrespectful and yet probably would think I want drugs or something. A little help? Thanks.

Fwiw, mine did. She had me take a survey type of assessment and then got put on medication. We talked for a long time about my conditions and history with ADHD.
