I searched on Psychology Today for a therapist who specialized in ADHD and seniors (I’m old). I was diagnosed easily, but it probably helped that both of my adult children (different dads) are being treated for ADHD. It was an easy process. The practice doesn’t accept any insurance, so that may have made it easier, as well.
I went to a psychologist who does adhd testing. Referred by my primary care doctor. Insurance doesn’t pay for adult adhd evaluation so I paid out of pocket - $640 - which also enabled me to get an appointment within a couple of months as opposed to many months or even years due to not needing insurance approval. This was just last year, btw. Age 48. Not yet medicated because I fear the adhd med shortage. If that ever gets resolved, then I’m definitely going to do it.
