I watched this video over a couple days of chores. I found it incredibly helpful for understanding the situation. Thanks for the recommendation! Step Back is someone I'll definitely be looking to for credible reporting in the future, especially considering his ties to Bellingcat

I'm sorry you're experiencing that. Nobody deserves to be treated that way. Sending good vibes to you

I'm a therapist in the US who often treats people with ADHD. I'm sorry you're going through this, it can feel like institutional gaslighting and really there aren't robust systems to actually provide resources, just diagnose (and often, inaccurately).

Russel Barkley is an ADHD specialist who offers GREAT resources for managing ADHD. Many YouTube videos and books. If you're looking for tools, I recommend starting here: https://www.russellbarkley.org/factsheets.html

Also, many therapists treat ADHD regardless of diagnosis. If you express wanting tools for executive dysfunction, etc., they'll likely be able to help. (I recommend asking if they do that in a free consult so you don't waste time/money on first sessions just to get a "No, we're treating XYZ instead").
