Yeah, I worry about how much I've learned to mask alongside the autism...stuff.

Wow, I wish our 'system' worked anywhere NEAR that smoothly.

Yeah, I'm hoping for similar results, to be honest.

I'm more likely to get comments like, "how did you come up with that!?" thankfully, though I often ask myself 'what the hell?!?!'

OK y'all, I'm at the end of my rope, proverbial and otherwise.

If I don't get some focus back I may never be able to work again, and that's not going to...well, work.

Has anyone reading this gotten an ADHD diagnosis as an adult? How did you go about it? I'm running into nothing but...bullshit everywhere I turn.

I don't want an autism diagnosis right now, so I'm hoping the lesser stigma around ADHD these days might work to my benefit.

As far as I can tell, my state medicaid covers mental health stuff, but I can't work out how to go about doing...anything about it. And the major medical system here doesn't do adult assessments. Well they do, but it's ONE practitioner and her wait times are in the 12-18 month range right now.

I'm hoping if I can get diagnosed, I'll try meds and hope they can contain the ADHD nonsense long enough for some autistic hyperfocus to step forward and do it's thing.

Anyway, any and all suggestions, thoughts, tangents and even excoriations are truly appreciated.
