  • I agree on the ‘analysis’ but not on the conclusion, since it’s not really an autism thing to do. Autism thing would be to over analyze and structure the requests, up to the point of having no output due to this at all. On the other hand, adhd is unstructured actions being triggered.

    I am not a doctor, but on the spectrum also with a direct family member having adhd, but of course there’s always margin for error and people are very different but that’s my understanding. (also I don’t want to convince you but am always interested in varying opinions to learn new things)

















  • Well, it’s been 2 years now, I already paid once out of my own pocket (I wanted ados and they gave me standard test, had no idea about adult autists) and it failed.

    So yeah. Nowhere there’s even a waiting list and knowledge about atypical adult autists is sparse so chances are slim I’ll ever get one. The rest of the ‘professionals’ are seemingly stuck at Autist knowledge from 30 years ago.

    I am very angry about the whole situation that after decades of being denied accommodation through kissing knowledge I am now even being denied a diagnosis.
