ADHD - You Don't Need a Label When You Have ADHD

When i first started telling people um that i had ADHD i had people saying but we like you if you are we don't want you to change. They were trying to show that they loved me and they accepted me as i am. But then i realized that because i'd masked so effectively and i'd hidden my struggles so much i hadn't told anybody how much i was struggling at all. So for them they didn't want me to change they thought i was great and they were like why do you need to diagnosis and why would you want to change? It just really confused them when i disclosed it because they just thought i don't understand what was wrong.
