After years of wondering, going back and forth, and putting it off, I’ve finally got an appointment set up to get evaluated. I set the appointment about two weeks ago and it’s tomorrow, I even did all the paperwork already! Is there anything I should know, or consider going in?
My wife described part of the test as:
Doc: do you struggle with <simple task>?
Pt: No, not at all because I have <overly complicated system> that makes <simple task> easy for me! <explains in great detail>
Doc: congratulations, you have ADHD
P00ptart for every question that you want to answer “no, because <specialized system that took years to figure out>”, instead answer “yes, which is why I have to <specialised system that took years to figure out> just to manage”.
My version:
Doc: do you struggle with
<simple task> ?
Pt: No, not at all because I have
<overly complicated system> that makes
<simple task> easy for me!
<explains in great detail>
Doc: congratulations, you do not have ADHD, have you tried setting phone reminders?
Me and my 4 nested to do list system both agree.
everything inside the angle brackets is not displaying for me, just FYI
