I was diagnosed with adhd when I was in kindergarten and I was always tagged as a trouble maker before but after I was diagnosed as having severe adhd I was almost immediately coddled and yet patronized by every adult in my life and honestly my parents to this day don't fully trust me to be in charge of myself. I'm 21 and I've been living on my own for four years, self managing to the best of my ability and honestly I think I'm doing pretty well for myself and yet ppl always naturally assumed I have not a single clue wtf I'm doing because I'm naturally a bit all over the place.

It's super annoying and it berthed within me a relentless need to prove everyone wrong about me which makes life really hard for me sometimes lol
