This is objectively false. There are medical tests to prove its existence, there have also been numerous studies highlighting the differences in ADHD brains and those without it, one of them being far slower development of the pre-frontal cortex. Not just a couple of weeks or months, we're talking years of delay. The FDA has also approved testing to assess for brain wave ratios, specifically theta and beta, in which ADHD brains have much higher count.

For most people with ADHD, staying on the drug is the hard part. On top of all of this, there are ADHD drugs that aren't stimulants if one reacts negatively to it. It's not the 70s anymore. Pushing stereotypes is a horrible thing to do, please refrain from it in the future.

Physical tests, or checklists?

There's a misunderstanding here, you're asking about medical tests from the perspective of a doctor diagnosing their patient in the office. I am talking about doctors/researchers assessing the existence of ADHD through medical test studies, brain scans, and so on. Hopefully in the future as this continues we're able to make this more widely available.
