I’ve been struggling with whether to get an autism diagnosis or an adhd one (or to blow the money on therapy instead). I feel like I’m functioning less and less the older I get and sometimes wish a test trial of stimulants could tell me if I had ADHD.
Like if I functioned better on meds then I’d know I’m ADHD. I know it’s not a logical wish but I hate all the loopholes and money. I struggle to make medical appointments for anything that is immediately obvious like a wound or rash. Need to get a script ready in my head and hate advocating for myself or the kids to indifferent professionals.
I’m in exactly the same camp, and it makes me feel just awful. I’m very lucky to have built a high-paying career, and healthcare is more accessible to me than most people, - knowing all that and still being utterly intimidated by the process fells all sorts of wrong.
