How did you get diagnosed?

posted 1 year ago

Hi. I have been wondering how to get an assessment for neurodivergence as I seem to struggle with some day-to-day things. I seem to relate to a lot of memes from the adhd and autism communities. I also seem to have a good amount of traits that overlap with autism and adhd.

How did you get your diagnosis? Do you have any advice regarding obtaining an assessment?

I was in the same boat two weeks ago and I looked at youtube videos explaining it. Now I’m sure I have it and I have an appointment for a diagnosis in 3 weeks.

I can highly recommend ADHD Jesse to find out what ADHD is and what it isn’t and to learn how different people deal with it as well as anything from HealthygamerGG to understand how it (and a lot of other mental stuff) works.
