Medication is supposed to make you pretty close to normal. Maybe you need behavior training. You may not have learned the normal socialing skills in spite of the medication. College psych dept. have all these trainees who would be delighted to have someone for their practical experience. With these things, no one needs to know you're adhd. They don't with me.
If you're not medicated, you're hard to be with, less safe (they test add meds on the lowered number of car accidents on and off meds - check it out! don't take my word for it.). Darn it all, unmedicated, there's a lot of self denial and self loathing - add unmedicated = not very good at much - hard to put up with yourself.
And yes, all these other disorders are accepted, but add/adhd - there is an attitude of what's the big deal.
