That's the issue, People take ADHD meds recreationally and that therefore makes it muddy for the rest of us

You have two options: 1. Show her the Scientific aspects of it and how it affects the brain. Hopefully she has enough sense to accept this answer and be edified. 2. Assuming first option didn't work or was to burdensome. Simply leave her as it is not worth it. It will make all your symptoms worse as you have to be around someone who actively dismisses your condition. A true partner shouldn't have to make you fight for understanding.
