My new counselor told me to go to my doctor and ask about starting the tests to see if I have ADHD - eviltoast

So I went to my doctor and was like “yeah my counselor said I should ask about the process to get tested for ADHD because of XYZ”…

He then had to gently explain that a year ago he had referred me to a local pysch for testing because I already took the ADHD assessment.

Anyway, long story short, after doing testing (which I showed up for on the wrong day the first time) I got an official ADHD diagnosis.

    Welcome to the club, read and watch folks’ experiences and you’ll probably see a lot of parallels with how you’ve acted in the past and learn from the lessons of how to cope with it… there’s no single thing that helps everyone (I remain of the opinion that ADHD is an over broad grouping that’s actually a few similar specific neurodivergences stuck together because we still understand it really poorly).
