Where should I go for this?!
Where should I go, what kind of specialist should I go see for a ADHD diagnosis and eventually get medication for it for free too?!

You will need to see a psychiatrist to get a diagnosis. If you are in the UK this will be through the NHS unless you have the money to pay for a private assessment. Your GP can refer you for an assessment to either their own service or a right to choose assessment which is faster. If you receive a diagnosis, you can be put on the waiting list for medication to be assessed for whether it is needed and what that medication would be. Both of these assessment wait lists are usually years. Some NHS services will not provide ADHD medication if you have a private diagnosis rather than an NHS funded one so make sure to check whether the provider of your diagnosis will make you elegible to receive medication post-diagnosis.
