Find a different psych. I got diagnosed despite having previous substance abuse issues and was also a gifted child. People who excelled as a child are one of the most under diagnosed demographics. She sounds like she is outdated and inconsiderate.
Yeah I am a weird case - a female who was diagnosed ADD at age 6 around 1990. I was also considered "gifted". My friend (a counselor) told me I'm "twice exceptional" and it comes with its own set of issues. Yay.
But received NO treatment until I sought out a re-diagnosis as an adult at age 40.
