It might have side effects. If the drugs work hopefully I won't be floundering around as much as I have been....

Welcome yourself into the new modern crisis
I agree totally.
Idiotic doctors wanted to take me OFF my Ritalin at one point as they said I outgrew it. You cannot outgrow ADHD, you just get better at handling it.
Which was responded to, by 4 different GPs, with the line 'I used to work in phsychiatry.' Well, if they did, they would know what they were saying was utter bollox.
And NHS GPs wonder why many people do not trust them? Sadly, I'm one of them after that 6 month period.
Good luck getting diagnosed on the NHS with ADHD. You'll need lots of it.
Fortunately my GP is an absolute star, we knew her by reputation before we moved to the area. The waiting list I'm on is for an autism peer support group. Obviously it's been impacted by Covid but still it's been a long time. I was going to wait until I got to the group to raise the possibility of ADHD as well as autism.
Anyway, if you think that's bad, you want to try waiting for a paediatric neurodevelopmental assessment. It's been years and years and years. Since before school age and she's about to go up into juniors. How the hell is she supposed to function?

That's a fair bit! But if it works....
Eventually I can get it on the NHS, but not for a while, during titration period etc.
But then, as I'll be pretty-much giving-up alcohol, even £110 seems a good deal and better for me!

Unfortunately I don't have any spare cash but I've waited forty years, I can wait some more. It's our daughter I'm more concerned about and we did go the private route for some of her support needs.

A lot of it is to do with forcing oneself to fit into neurotypically designed society. Being outdoors does help a lot.

Teaching allows me to think outside the box. As long as the curriculum objectives are met, and the kids enjoy it and learn, it's all good.

Well having been through the childhood what you did, its no massive surprise if you became reactive / easily riled.
Yup, despite being 'quite bright' I realised early on that a desk or lab based life wasn't going to suit me well..
So being self employed, both practically doing stuff, and teaching also, for which a 'here there and everywhere' brain comes in handy, works pretty well..

Daft C*unt, Silly C*unt could be an album name for your son's band.
There's this album (except the forum won't allow a direct link presumably because of profanity) so try this one

Puts me in mind of this for some daft reason:
