Your treatment options should no be limited by what other family members have,IMO. One assessment done by a T who saw you once and just gave you a computer-based test, provides just one piece to a very complex puzzle.

be persistent.

I would recommend finding another health care professional who has experience dx and treating ADHD. I would not lie but I would have this person assess you without disclosing a lot of the family baggage.
AGREED!
Taking control of your health in an assertive, persistent manner is the only way to do business.
