Undiagnosed adult ADHD

How can i get my adult child assessed he has gone since a toddler undiagnosed maybe ADHD dr joked to me when i told my concerns. It wasnt known as ADHD at that time i dont think it was hyperactivity i think he was still is very nervous but definitely has adult learning problem cant understand any letters he recieves, he also was suffering from seizures and stopped going to Glasgow hospital because he cant travel on his own. His health is poor and he doesn't eat good food if he even eats. He gets very angry with frustration and cant carry a simple phone msg he needs sorted and treated as he will die young from bad health he lives on his own. He would rather be a recluse he doesn't know how to ask to be assessed. Please dont let my name show. Thankyou.

Have you seen the AADD-UK website? It's an organisation dedicated to supporting adults with ADHD, and they have some good guidance on seeking a diagnosis:
1. I suspect I may have ADHD. How do I get a referral to an ADHD specialist for an assessment?
2. Is there an adult ADHD specialist or an adult ADHD clinic in my area?
3. What can I do if my GP refuses to write a referral to an adult ADHD specialist?
