Hi š I was diagnosed when I was 27. Hope you are doing okay and taking it easy

Hi there, any chance youād be happy to share the process and how you went about it. Iām hoping to start the process next year. Wondering whether thereās any point going via nhs route.
Didnāt even think about it being beneficial for our children but thatās a great point. Weāre in the process of getting my eldest seen and assessed as well.

Oh wow ok thank you ever so much! Iāll definitely look into it. It will be a sigh of relief the day I manage to get a diagnosis.

Must be such mixed emotionsā¦.i think definitely the telling people part will be hardā¦.i know itāll be hard to tell any of my Chinese family as they donāt really understand things like autism and adhd. But does it feel somewhat relieving to know why youāve been different all this time? Iām hoping that it will give me some sort of closure for some of me.
