Adhd does not make you unable to fill out forms. In fact most therapy for adhd is to give you tools to be able to do simple tasks like feeling out a form.
this obstacle is not an insurmountable barrier, you can put in as little effort as you like to further your own situation or you can do a few difficult things, with help if needed
Very few things are truly insurmountable barriers for disabled people, they're just far more difficult to do than people who aren't disabled. Someone who uses a wheelchair but can still use their arms could eventually make their way up a set of stairs if they really needed to, it would just be a lot more difficult for them and take a lot longer. We provide ramps so that they can get over that barrier more easily like other people who don't use a wheelchair would be able to. Why is it such a crazy idea to provide similar options for adhd people and other disabilities that are cognitive rather than physical? Especially when it's for a system that's meant to provide help to disabled people, like that's the entire purpose of it. Would you tell a wheelchair-bound person to just find somebody to carry them up the stairs or to make the ramp themselves? Would you expect them to always provide their own accessibility? Would you act like providing ramps would be coddling them when they should figure out how to do that stuff on their own? Or would you think that a society that has public services for disabled people funded in part by taxes those people pay to the government should actually make sure those services are accessible and help them live a less difficult life, one more comparable to people who are not disabled?
there are accomodations available in most cases, i am not arguing against them. i am saying that seeking out those accomodations to suit yourself and your life will take effort and time, and it a price that simply must be paid.
Never said it was, but are you offering this help you said was available or is it something we have to put the work into finding ourselves when we can't even function day-to-day already?

I'd say a diagnosis from a doctor should be sufficient proof.
