I think the problem is people with certain conditions are sick to the back teeth of being told how we ought to feel, how our conditions affect us and what we ought to do about it.

In relation to your conditions, there will be certain common traits unique to every person with ADHD & autusm. However, every individual is different because different people have different severeties, handle & react to their conditions differently, have different reactions to medication and these can vary over time.
I don't, therefore, think it appropriate for you to be told how to feel or how these conditions affect you. These are severe, lifelong & incurable conditions, so it's probably useful to listen to what experts have to suggest, but it wouldn't be professional for a member of staff to
tell you what to do about it*, but rather give you a variety of options that you may or may not wish to take up.

If you have a carer, then you aren't being treated in the same way as an able bodied person by definition. This isn't always a bad thing, when I was a child I used to offer to do jobs to help elderly and disabled neighbours, but I didn't do it for those able to do it themselves!
