Where I live they try really hard not to give you a diagnosis as an adult because it might require the health services to do something more about it, and would take more resources. Just getting medication was a hassle so I gave up on the system trying to help me.
Children get a diagnosis but government help will become much more limited when they turn adult.
Apparently in Canada and specifically in Quebec, nerodivergence goes away as soon as someone becomes an adult.
Queue bullshit like “ADHD lessens when you’re an Adult”, which is basically adults being better at masking and coping.
Cue my dumbfounded wife of ten years the morning I asked her if she thought I could be autistic.
Gestures broadly at everything.
Because health insurance is a scam.
