Steroids? I’ve never heard of those being a treatment for ADHD

Blood tests help to exclude other reasons for symptoms so they absolutely have bearing.

Well, I had to go through excessive tests, including blood work and EEG.

Well, last time I checked they said it would take 3-5 years waiting time to get an appointment, recently I learned they don’t even have an open waiting list right now.

For ADHD it means you can try medication to help you. For ASD it wouldn’t change anything for me personally so I’m not going to bother.

Personal experience from Germany but also heard from others in the UK: it’s easier to get an ADHD diagnosis as an adult than an ASD diagnosis as an adult.

Well, for a lot of neurodivergent people it’s actually a part of who we are, not a condition we have, so even though you might not like it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Personally I hate people telling me that I have autism and ADHD. I am both those things.

This article explains it quite well and even though it’s about autistic people it goes for ADHD people as well.
