That's rough, sorry to hear that. I only got diagnosed in my late 30's, ever since high school I felt like something about me was off.
Daydreaming? "Well, you've got an IQ of 135, so you are just bored."
Incapable of starting homework? "Completely normal, you are just bored, try harder."
At some point I convinced myself I was just lazy, it was only when I hit a roadblock professionally I was finally able to convince a doctor that this could not go on any longer.
It sucks knowing something is wrong, but having to fight to get taken seriously. I hope you are able to find the help you need soon.
