This was actively damaging to me; I didn't get diagnosed (and subsequently receive help) until I was 33 because I'm ADHD-PI and was only familiar with stereotypical ADHD-PH, which is very much NOT me. I really hope there's more differentiation someday.

Yeah, pretty common AFAIK with the 'twice exceptional' (gifted and have other issues). The medical system is not as focused on helping people who are getting by well enough and there isn't anything obviously wrong with them.
