When I first got tested for ADHD, I forgot to put the appointment in my calendar and no-showed. The psychiatrist I met with specialized in ADHD, and I almost cried when, instead of giving me a fine like other doctors might, she simply said “a lot of my patients aren’t great with keeping appointments, it’s no problem”
That sounds so nice. I’m currently in a wall of awful about trying to find a new adhd psychiatrist after changing insurance because I’ve been so mistreated by so many psychiatrists over the years.
And teachers. And authority figures in general. My favorite is when psychiatrists aren’t understanding of adhd behaviors
