I’m currently on the wait list for ADHD (NHS Wales) the confirmation for my assessment came from a place 2 hours away which I’ve been before but I don’t drive so will be relying on public transport and that scares me. I didn’t know there was meant to be a care team to support you 🥴 autism has been brought up by a few people around me so I’m going to see how the ADHD assessment goes and what they say but I’m so scared 😭 I think I got the letter in December or January and I’m already sick of waiting 🥲
I do think your autism report may have failed you by not saying it though, as my report stated they recommended I was assessed for ADHD. They also mentioned dyspraxia basically anything they discussed was in it. But I was diagnosed by the nhs as Autistic and ADHD with Psyc uk. It does suck how you get treated though.
Seconding this, I saw an educational psychologist to see if there was anything else in addition to ADHD and (because I'd been trying to do a Masters where they'd given me no support) what accommodations I could get if I studied more, and even the things the ed psych can't officially diagnose he was like "you should consider being assessed for these other things because you ticked nearly every box when we did those parts".
I’ve had struggles with my diagnoses from when I got diagnosed with adhd nearly 2 years ago. They recommended me go back to the GP (psychiatry U.K.) and they were basically saying we might do if the meds don’t help but I’ve tried with the GP and now they’re just delaying saying it’ll take too long so I’m investing in going private. My brothers have both but one was branded a naughty kid and the other was very sensitive so they got dyslexia diagnoses and the older of the two was “partially on the spectrum” whereas I was the silent child, painfully shy unless you knew me at home. So yeah it’ll be fun unpacking all that when I finally get the private assessment!
Good video, Ellis
