For those of you who weren’t diagnosed until adulthood (I’m in my late 40s),
what was the diagnosis process like? Are you just given a written test, or does
someone evaluate you more thoroughly? Do they try to understand your symptoms,
or is it more of a checklist? If anyone has personal stories they’d be willing
to share, I’d love to hear them. I’m also just curious about what to expect
during the appointment. Who do I make it with? A psychiatrist? I also wonder if
there are other related conditions or learning disabilities that I might have,
such as dyslexia. Do I need to be proactive in asking for multiple diagnoses? Or
will they be able to evaluate me for anything/everything?
