Sounds very frustrating. I recently brought up the idea to my mom and sister that I was feeling like I have some ADD symptoms. They were skeptical. My mom's a teacher so she's been on the front lines in suggesting that some students have ADD. She said she never thought of me as having it, but she's being supportive of me. My sister is having a rough time herself so she was transferring her problems on to me. Which is frustrating. I just want someone to be like "oh yeah, I can see where your coming from." But I can't expect them to see things from my perspective. I am going in for my intake next week to start the process of getting tested for ADD.

You may not get anyone convinced right now, but if you have a plan for how you want to handle your assumptions and share these plans with them maybe they will support you through the process anyway.

Maybe not helpful, but that is my experience right now.
