Getting an autism or ADHD diagnosis
You recently got a copy of your child’s evaluation, and it turns out they’re ADHD or autistic, and the report sounds like it is talking about you. Or maybe you’ve seen all the memes about things neurodivergent (ND) folks do, and realize you relate a lot to all of them. Or, you’ve noticed that the majority of people you get along with well are ND. There’s many places your journey could have started, but it’s led to this point- you’re questioning whether or not you are ND and are thinking about seeking an “official” diagnosis.
