Either you click immediately, or you hate each other immediately but if you stick with it, you’ll probably click extremely after a little while.
You can also just sit there and wait until everyone you ever bonded with gets diagnosed. It’s fun to listen to them explaining how the process went and slowly coming to some realizations about yourself.
Good luck getting someone with autism to volunteer for that and got someone with ADHD to sit still in such a room until you get a patient
Hey, I tell you there’s also the inattentive type ADHD. In which case, they might just forget to show up altogether.
Made me (diagnosed with ADHD-I) chuckle, that could definitely be me. Usually one of these:
- Forget the appointment altogether.
- Remember appointment, be unable to do anything beforehand, find something to distract me of that impending appointment dread, forget the appointment that initially took up my entire attention span.
I can’t read relatable shit like this while knowing they refuse to even test me. -_-
That’s rough, sorry to hear that. I only got diagnosed in my late 30’s, ever since high school I felt like something about me was off.
Daydreaming? “Well, you’ve got an IQ of 135, so you are just bored.”
Incapable of starting homework? “Completely normal, you are just bored, try harder.”
At some point I convinced myself I was just lazy, it was only when I hit a roadblock professionally I was finally able to convince a doctor that this could not go on any longer.
It sucks knowing something is wrong, but having to fight to get taken seriously. I hope you are able to find the help you need soon.
Your life is not in enough shambles.
What really helped me is bring my girlfriend along to an appointment. She could remember many more of my fuckups than I could have on my own.
This is exactly why I have a complex system of alarms set up on my phone 🤦♀️
Oof that second one hit too close to home
Wow! A double-whammy of misunderstanding both diagnosis! Well done!
bonding with a total stranger is extrovert supremacy.
if i can be in the room with an existing friend, I’d do it.
but i would guess that invalidates the test.
We can just smell it on each other.
Sniffs
Literally how I ended up seeking a diagnostic assessment is because my gf asked me if I was on meds for ADHD before I knew I had ADHD 💀
